What happens across Cornwall?
In Cornwall, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell and Truro. Truro, Falmouth and Penzance are built of granite and slate, with salt air and strong weather along much of the coast.

What should you check before you decide?
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission across Cornwall?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your 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.
What do people ask about bi-fold shopfronts across Cornwall?
How soon can you fit a bi-fold shopfront across Cornwall?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Does a new shopfront across Cornwall need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Do bi-fold shopfronts work on a busy street?
Yes, as long as the panels fold inwards or sit clear of the pavement.
