Rules that apply in Kelso

Planning in Kelso 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).

How it works

1. Send the basics

   Tell us what the shutter is for and the rough size, with photos if you have them.

2. Survey at the property

   A surveyor measures, checks what the box and guides will fix to, and talks through options.

3. Fixed written price

   You get a quotation listing the shutter, controls, fitting and lead time.

4. Installation and handover

   We fit, test the controls and safety devices, and leave the documents with you.
