Rules that apply in Kelso
Kelso is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Kelso
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
Is the survey free in Kelso?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Kelso are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Kelso?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
