What makes the difference?
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.
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Cardiff?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but City of Cardiff Council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent, and rules are set by the Welsh Government.

A change to how the frontage looks usually does. City of Cardiff Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
