Do I need planning permission to replace a shutter?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not, but changing type, colour or position on a shopfront may. Check with your council.

Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for roller shutter replacement in Livingston?
It depends on the property. Like-for-like replacements do not usually need permission, but a new external shutter or a change of type or position can, especially on shopfronts and listed buildings. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
