How does it work in Arbroath?
Arbroath sits in Tayside, and Angus Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What should you think about first?
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 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.
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.
Do you need consent in Arbroath?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Angus Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about aluminium shopfronts in Arbroath?
Does a new shopfront in Arbroath need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Angus 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.
How soon can you fit an aluminium shopfront in Arbroath?
Lead time is 3 to 4 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Can you fit it around my trading hours?
