What can you expect across Dorset?
In Dorset, 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 Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch. Bournemouth and Poole carry most of the larger units, while Dorchester, Bridport and Weymouth have older streets and sea air.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
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 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Dorset?
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.
