Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Planning permission

Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Argyll and Bute: questions

Which towns in Argyll and Bute do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Argyll and Bute, including Campbeltown, Dunoon, Helensburgh and Oban. Island and remote addresses are arranged individually.

Do you work on aluminium bifolds?

Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.

Is patio door glass already safety glass?

It should be, because doors are critical locations. Most is toughened, which is safe but not secure. Adding a laminated pane makes it both.

Can sliding doors be lifted out?

Older sliding doors without anti-lift blocks can be. We check for this at the survey and can fit blocks at the same visit.
