Covering Forres
If your address has an IV36 postcode, it falls within our Aberdeen & North East Scotland coverage.
Neighbouring towns we cover include Elgin (11 miles away), Nairn and Inverness.
Forres is roughly 65 miles north-west of Aberdeen.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Forres we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Forres before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Planning and safety in Forres
Planning in Forres 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).
