How does it work across Kent?
Our teams cover Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells and the rest of Kent. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Maidstone, Canterbury and Ashford are the main centres, alongside Thanet's seaside towns and Medway's long high streets.
What is worth knowing?
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
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.
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 |

Do you need consent across Kent?
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.
