Shopfronts and shutters in Whitby
If your shop in Whitby needs a new front, a new shutter or both, we can survey it, draw it, price it and fit it under one contract.

What else should you know?
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
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 Whitby?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from North Yorkshire 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 Whitby?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Whitby?
North Yorkshire Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
How soon can you fit an aluminium shopfront in Whitby?
Lead time is 3 to 4 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
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.
