How does it work in North Shields?
A job starts the same way wherever you are: a measured survey, a look at the lintel and floor level, and a conversation about how the unit trades. We cover postcodes including NE30 and NE29, and we also work nearby in Tynemouth and South Shields.
What should you check before you decide?
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 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.
What are the guide prices?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in North Shields?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to North Tyneside Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
