How does it work across the Lothians?
Our teams cover Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate and the rest of the Lothians. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. 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?
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,750 to £2,295 |

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.
