How does it work in Durham?
We cover Durham and postcodes including DH1 and DH7, and teams working here can also reach Spennymoor and Chester-le-Street. Parking, deliveries and pavement space all go into the plan for fitting day.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
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 |

Do you need consent in Durham?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Durham County Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
