What is worth knowing?
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 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.
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 Chester?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Cheshire West and Chester Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
