What can you expect in Ballymena?
A job starts the same way wherever you are: a measured survey, a look at the lintel and floor level, and a conversation about how the unit trades. We cover postcodes including BT42, BT43 and BT44, and we also work nearby in Antrim and Ballyclare.
What should you think about first?
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.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
What are the guide prices?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Ballymena?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Mid and East Antrim Borough Council. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.

Does a new shopfront in Ballymena need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
