What can you expect in Preston?
A frontage in Preston has to suit the street as well as the shop. Preston City Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What makes the difference?
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 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.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
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 |

Will this need planning permission in Preston?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Preston City Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
