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 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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Galashiels?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Scottish Borders Council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
