Working in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage city centre combined with growing airport corridor demand makes for varied work. Listed-building secondary glazing across the New Town and Old Town, residential window replacement in EH postcodes, and acoustic glazing for properties under Edinburgh Airport flight paths in EH12, EH28 and EH29.

For commercial glazing in Edinburgh, our typical projects range from independent high-street retailers through to multi-site rollouts across Scotland for national chains. We deliver full-glazed shopfront systems, automatic entrance doors, secure roller shutters, and curtain-walling for office and mixed-use developments. Most commonly we're working across EH12, EH28 and EH29 postcodes. Out-of-hours installation for retail tenants is standard — most shopfront installs are completed overnight to avoid trading disruption to Edinburgh businesses.

Our process

How we deliver in Edinburgh

01

Concept & design

We visit your premises, discuss your branding and frontage requirements, then produce CAD drawings showing the proposed shopfront in elevation.

02

Planning & consents

Most shopfront replacements are permitted development, but conservation areas, listed buildings and complete redesigns may need consent. We handle the entire application process.

03

Manufacture

Aluminium and steel shopfronts are made to measure at our facility. Lead time typically 3-5 weeks depending on system and finishes.

FAQs

Common questions

Like-for-like replacement is usually permitted development. Significant design changes, conservation areas, and listed buildings require planning permission and/or listed-building consent. We handle applications on your behalf.
Typical single retail unit: 2-3 days from old shopfront removal to new install complete. We can work overnight to keep you trading.
Aluminium shopfronts offer the best value for money — durable, secure, smart appearance, and significantly cheaper than frameless glass or timber. Typical aluminium shopfront: £4,000-£8,000 supplied and installed.
