What you are buying

Where a unit has been targeted before, steel sections take an impact that aluminium will not. Usually specified with laminated glass and a shutter, giving two layers of delay rather than one.

Nothing is ordered until you have a written price and have agreed it. The survey costs you nothing and carries no obligation — plenty of people use it simply to find out what the job would involve before they budget for it.

If you are fitting out more than one unit, say so at survey — pricing per opening usually improves once the same team is doing several.

Tell us the address and roughly what you need and a surveyor will come out at a time that suits the business.

Common questions

Can you work outside trading hours?

Yes. Overnight and closed-day installation is normal for units that cannot lose a trading day, and the premises are left secure at every stage of the work.

Do you replace just the glass?

Yes. Shopfront glass must be toughened or laminated and kitemarked in a critical location, so panes are ordered to the surveyed size — which means a same-day swap is rarely possible on anything large. Boarding secures the opening in the meantime.

What colours can I have?

Any RAL colour on aluminium and steel. Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and black (RAL 9005) are the most common on high-street units, but the powder coater will match whatever your brand standard specifies.

Can you match the units either side of me?

On a parade where the landlord requires a consistent frontage, we work from the same section profiles and colour reference so the new unit reads as part of the row.

Do I need planning permission?

For a like-for-like replacement, usually not. You will need consent for a listed building, in a conservation area, or where you change the appearance of the frontage or add illuminated signage. We can tell you which applies at survey, though the application itself is between you and the council.
