Coverage in and around Musselburgh
Musselburgh is part of our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, and addresses in the EH21 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Edinburgh & the Lothians.
We also cover Dalkeith, Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Musselburgh is roughly 6 miles east of Edinburgh.
Each window in Musselburgh is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Musselburgh before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Planning and safety in Musselburgh
Planning in Musselburgh follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules. Shopfront shutters usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted where required.
Electrical work for powered shutters is carried out to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
Fire shutters in workplaces and other non-domestic premises are maintained under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, where the duty holder is responsible for keeping fire safety measures in working order. Fire shutters that form part of building work also need approval from the council's building standards service (building warrants).
