A job starts the same way wherever you are: a measured survey, a look at the lintel and floor level, and a conversation about how the unit trades. We cover postcodes including EH33, and we also work nearby in Prestonpans and Musselburgh.

What should you think about first?
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
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 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.
Do you need consent in Tranent?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to East Lothian Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
