Coverage in and around Aberdeen
If your address has an Aberdeen postcode, it falls within our Aberdeen & North East Scotland coverage.
Other towns nearby that we cover include Stonehaven, Inverurie and Peterhead.
On houses in Aberdeen, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Aberdeen where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
Rules that apply in Aberdeen
Planning in Aberdeen follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules. Shopfront shutters usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted where required.
Electrical work for powered shutters is carried out to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
Fire shutters in workplaces and other non-domestic premises are maintained under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, where the duty holder is responsible for keeping fire safety measures in working order. Fire shutters that form part of building work also need approval from the council's building standards service (building warrants).
