What rules apply in Kirkwall?
The planning authority for Kirkwall is Orkney Islands Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

Questions from Kirkwall customers
Can I get a real timber sectional door?
Timber sectional doors are available from some makers. We can quote, but they need regular finishing to stay in good condition.
Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?
No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.
Do you cover Kirkwall?
We cover Kirkwall by arrangement. Because of the distance, we confirm availability and any travel cost before you book, and the cost is shown separately on your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Kirkwall?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, check with Orkney Islands Council.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover Thurso and Wick by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
