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.
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.
Do you need consent in Chelsea?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
