Planning and safety in Lerwick
Lerwick is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Fire separation: If the hatch breaks a fire-resisting wall, the shutter must be a tested fire-rated product installed to the manufacturer's instructions; a standard counter shutter will not do.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.
- Approvals: Where a fire-rated counter shutter is part of building work, such as a new hatch in a fire-resisting wall, a building warrant from the council's building standards service is normally needed before work starts.

Counter & servery shutters in Lerwick: questions
Can a counter shutter be electric?
Yes, with a small tube motor and key switch. Manual spring-balanced shutters are simpler and suit smaller hatches.
What finish is best for kitchens?
Stainless steel or anodised aluminium are easy to wipe down and resist corrosion.
Do you cover Lerwick?
Yes, by arrangement. Lerwick is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Lerwick?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
