How does it work in Penicuik?
Our surveys in Penicuik cover postcodes including EH26 and EH46, along with Bonnyrigg and Dalkeith. Planning applications here go to Midlothian Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What makes the difference?
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
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.
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.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Penicuik?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Midlothian Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
