How does it work 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 should you think about first?
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives more privacy and strength. Perforated keeps the window working at night. On the outside of a shop, some councils resist both, so check before you choose.
What decides the final package price?
Width, height, frame material, curtain type, and whether the box can be hidden. Access and strip-out are the other two things that move the price.
What happens to my old frontage?
If the job is a replacement, removal and disposal are priced on the quotation, and we aim to leave the unit secure or boarded overnight.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
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 shopfront and shutter packages across the Lothians?
Do you cover the Lothians for both the shopfront and shutter?
Yes. One surveyor and one fitting team handle both parts across the Lothians.
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 long does a package take across the Lothians?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
How long will my shop be closed?
That depends on the job, and your quotation sets out the fitting days. We plan the work around trading hours and can arrange closed-day or out-of-hours fitting.
