Coverage in and around Dunoon
Dunoon is part of our Dunbartonshire & Argyll coverage, and addresses in the PA23 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Dunbartonshire & Argyll.
We also cover Greenock, Helensburgh and Largs, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Dunoon sits some 16 miles to the west of Dumbarton.
Each window in Dunoon is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Dunoon before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Rules that apply in Dunoon
Planning in Dunoon 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).
