How does it work across Leicestershire?
In Leicestershire, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville. Leicester has its Golden Mile and city-centre streets, and market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough have smaller frontages.
What should you think about first?
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 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.
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 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission across Leicestershire?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to your council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
