What can you expect in Hamilton?
Our surveys in Hamilton cover postcodes including ML3, along with Motherwell and Blantyre. Planning applications here go to South Lanarkshire Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
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.
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.
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 |

Will this need planning permission in Hamilton?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to South Lanarkshire Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
