What is worth knowing?
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.
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 this need planning permission in Barrow-in-Furness?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Westmorland and Furness Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

Does a new shopfront in Barrow-in-Furness need planning permission?
