What can you expect across Leicestershire?
Our teams cover Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville and the rest of Leicestershire. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Leicester has its Golden Mile and city-centre streets, and market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough have smaller frontages.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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 are the guide prices?
| 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.
Will this need planning permission across Leicestershire?
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.
