What can you expect across Aberdeenshire and Moray?
Our teams cover Aberdeen, Elgin, Peterhead and Inverurie and the rest of Aberdeenshire and Moray. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Granite is the building material in Aberdeen and Peterhead, while Elgin and much of Moray are built of sandstone, and pale stone frontages show every badly matched frame.

What is worth knowing?
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
Will this need planning permission across Aberdeenshire and Moray?
Very likely. Your council will look closely at frontages in conservation areas, and any listed building needs listed building consent as well. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
