Window shutters for properties in Peebles
Peebles is part of our Scottish Borders coverage, and addresses in the EH45 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Scottish Borders. We also cover Galashiels, Dalkeith and Edinburgh, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Peebles sits some 13 miles to the west of Galashiels.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Peebles we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Each window in Peebles is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Rules that apply in Peebles
As a Scottish town, Peebles follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
- Ventilation: A closed shutter reduces airflow round trickle vents, so on rooms with gas appliances or poor ventilation we specify slotted laths or a part-open setting.
- Planning: Whether external shutters on a house need permission depends on the property and the council. Listed buildings need consent for external alterations, and conservation areas often bring tighter rules, so check before ordering. We provide drawings and product details for an application.
- Escape windows: If a shutter covers a window you would use to get out in a fire, it must open from inside without a key. We fit a manual override or battery backup on those openings.
