Local projects in Aberdeenshire

In Aberdeenshire we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.

North East Scotland's cities and coastal towns have a steady demand for refits of older granite and stone shop units.

What does the work include?

  • Counter with tobacco gantry and lottery space
  • CCTV, intruder alarm and security shutters
  • Anti-slip commercial flooring
  • Signage and price-ticket rails

Planning and building control in Aberdeenshire

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

  • Your premises licence plan may need updating if the alcohol display area changes.
  • Tobacco and vapes must be stored out of sight of customers, so the gantry needs closing doors or shutters.
