How does it work across the Lothians?
We work right across the Lothians, including Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. 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 should you check before you decide?
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
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.
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.
