What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Swansea?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to City and County of Swansea Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent, and rules are set by the Welsh Government.

Does a new shopfront in Swansea need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. City and County of Swansea Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
