What can you expect across the Lothians?
In the Lothians, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate. Edinburgh has listed streets and shopping districts such as Leith Walk and Morningside, and Livingston and the market towns of East Lothian make up the rest.

What is worth knowing?
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Do you need consent across the Lothians?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
