What can you expect in Whitstable?
Working in Whitstable means working with Canterbury City Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
What should you think about first?
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Whitstable?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Canterbury City Council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
