What is worth knowing before you start?
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
How do I stop it happening again?
Most failures give a warning: noise, slow running, a door that needs a push. A planned service catches these early.
Will this need planning permission in Birkenhead?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from Wirral Borough Council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask?
Do you cover Birkenhead?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Birkenhead?
Wirral Borough Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Does a new shopfront in Birkenhead need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Wirral Borough Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
