What can you expect in Portlethen?
Our surveys in Portlethen cover postcodes including AB12, along with Aberdeen and Stonehaven. Planning applications here go to Aberdeenshire Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you think about first?
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
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 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 are the guide prices?
| 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 Portlethen?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Aberdeenshire Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
