What happens across the Lothians?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate are among the places we cover. Councils here include City of Edinburgh, West Lothian and East Lothian. 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 makes the difference?
Can I phase the work?
Yes. If cash flow is tight, we can fit the frontage first and leave the box, guides and power ready for the shutter later.
Why plan the frontage and shutter together?
Because the shutter box needs a home. Plan it with the fascia and it disappears. Add it later and it usually ends up on the face of the building.
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.
Do you need consent across the Lothians?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your council will normally expect a planning application. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about full frontage replacements across the Lothians?
Can you fit a package around my trading hours across the Lothians?
Yes. Closed-day or out-of-hours fitting can be arranged.
Who decides planning for a frontage across the Lothians?
Your council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
How much is a shopfront and shutter package across the Lothians?
For a unit up to 3 m wide, guide prices start from £3,895 plus VAT, with strip-out priced at survey. The written quotation after a free site survey sets the final price.
What can go wrong with an old opening?
A tired lintel, an uneven floor or walls out of square. We check these at survey and price any work before you accept.
