How does it work in Lisburn?
Our surveys in Lisburn cover postcodes including BT27, BT28 and BT17, along with Belfast and Dundonald. Planning applications here go to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you think about first?
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.
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.
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.
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 in Lisburn?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council has the final say. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
