How does it work across the Scottish Islands?
In the Scottish Islands, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick. Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick are the island centres, where exposure and shipping shape what can be fitted and when.

What makes the difference?
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Islands?
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.
