How does it work in Belfast?
Working in Belfast means working with Belfast City Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.
What makes the difference?
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 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 about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £2,450 to £3,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £3,195 to £5,195 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £3,995 to £6,495 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £4,795 to £7,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in Belfast?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Belfast City Council. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
