Planning and safety in Kelso
In Kelso, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.
- Powered shutters: Powered shutters are set up so their safety devices work, and should be maintained. Workplace rules expect powered doors to be safe in use.
- Planning: A new shutter on a shopfront usually needs planning permission, because it changes how the building looks; councils often prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles, and some areas have shopfront design guides. Listed buildings also need listed building consent.

Shop roller shutters in Kelso: questions
Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?
Usually yes. A new external shutter on a shopfront changes how the building looks, so most councils expect an application, and some have shopfront design guides that prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles. We can supply drawings and product details.
Can you replace just the curtain?
Often, yes. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a new curtain is cheaper than a complete shutter.
How much do shop roller shutters cost in Kelso?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Kelso confirms the specification and fixes the price.
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.
