What is worth knowing?
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 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.
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.
Do you need consent across Essex?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from your council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
