What can you expect in Darwen?
Our surveys in Darwen cover postcodes including BB3, along with Blackburn and Haslingden. Planning applications here go to Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you think about first?
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
Does a shutter need planning permission?
An external shutter usually does. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. An internal grille or shutter is usually the safer route, so we can advise what to check before you order.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,450 to £1,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £1,895 to £2,595 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £2,395 to £3,195 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £2,895 to £3,995 |
