Coverage in and around Ayr
Surveys in Ayr and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Ayrshire.
Our coverage around Ayr also includes Irvine, Kilmarnock and Newton Mearns.
Ayr is roughly 12 miles south-west of Kilmarnock.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Ayr starts with which of those matters most to you.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Ayr before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Rules that apply in Ayr
Planning in Ayr 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).
