What can you expect in Ilford?
Our surveys in Ilford cover postcodes including IG1, IG2 and IG3, along with Barking and Forest Gate. Planning applications here go to London Borough of Redbridge, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
How much will it cost?
| 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 Ilford?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from London Borough of Redbridge. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
