In and around Musselburgh we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and boutiques and independent retailers.

- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring

What should Musselburgh owners check first?
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
- Hot food takeaways need planning permission for the use class, and many councils restrict new takeaways near schools.
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
