How does it work in Colchester?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Colchester City Council handles planning for Colchester, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
What are the guide prices?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Colchester?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Colchester City Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask about frameless glass shopfronts in Colchester?
How soon can you fit a frameless glass shopfront in Colchester?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Does a new shopfront in Colchester need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Colchester City Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Can a frameless shopfront have a shutter?
Yes. It needs planning early because there is no frame to fix to. An internal shutter is often the neatest route.
