What can you expect across South Glamorgan?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major are among the places we cover. Councils here include Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan. Cardiff has arcades and city-centre streets, with Barry and Penarth along the coast.
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.
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 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 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 South Glamorgan?
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, and rules are set by the Welsh Government.
