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.
Will I get something in writing?
Yes. A service visit ends with a written condition report that you can keep for your landlord or insurer.
Will this need planning permission in North Shields?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from North Tyneside 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 North Shields?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in North Shields?
North Tyneside Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Does a new shopfront in North Shields need planning permission?

Lead time is 3 to 4 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
