How does it work in Cambridge?
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 CB2, CB1 and CB3, and we also work nearby in Royston and St Ives.

What should you think about first?
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
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 Cambridge?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Cambridge City Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
