What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent across Greater Manchester?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to your council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
