What can you expect across County Durham?
In County Durham, 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 Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham. Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees have long high streets, while Durham has a historic centre that needs care.
What makes the difference?
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
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.
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 should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £5,195 to £7,295 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £6,795 to £9,295 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £8,295 to £11,495 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £9,995 to £13,995 |
