Emergency Callout in Edinburgh
We do not offer emergency callout in Edinburgh. Here is why, and what we can do instead.
Emergency Callout in Edinburgh: not a service we offer here
Edinburgh is too far from our Midlands base for us to offer emergency callout at a response time that would be fair to you, so we do not take this work on there.
A firm based near Edinburgh will reach you sooner. If the damage means you are replacing the front, shutter or door altogether, we can quote that as a planned project.
Edinburgh is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in Edinburgh
The Old Town and New Town together form a World Heritage Site, and a large share of the buildings are listed. The City of Edinburgh Council has some of the most detailed shopfront guidance in Britain, with strong preferences for traditional timber fronts, painted signs and internal security. Any work here needs careful drawings and usually several consents.
Outside the centre, Leith, Stockbridge, Bruntsfield and Morningside have lively local high streets with cafés, delis and independent shops, many still in Victorian and Georgian buildings with conservation area controls.

Questions people ask about emergency callout
It depends on where you are and the time of day. Ring us and we will give you an honest arrival estimate before we set off. Shops near Coventry and Birmingham are the quickest for us to reach.
Yes, emergency visits carry a call-out charge, and out-of-hours rates apply at night and weekends. We tell you the figure on the phone first.
Most commercial policies cover making premises secure after damage, but terms vary. We supply the photos and report your insurer will need.
Our emergency service is for commercial premises: shops, offices, takeaways and industrial units, including flats above shops when the damage is linked.
