Rules that apply in Wick
In Wick, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked 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.
Do I need a fire-rated counter shutter?
If the hatch is in a wall that is meant to resist fire, such as a kitchen wall onto a corridor, yes. Your fire risk assessment or building drawings will usually say.
Is the survey free in Wick?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
