Planning and safety in Kelso
Kelso 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.
- 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.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.

Counter & servery shutters in Kelso: 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 you cover Kelso?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Kelso in the usual way; it is covered as part of Scottish Borders.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Kelso?
Possibly. New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. We recommend checking with your council first.
