Planning and safety in Wishaw
In Wishaw, 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
What finish is best for kitchens?
Stainless steel or anodised aluminium are easy to wipe down and resist corrosion.
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.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Wishaw?
New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
