How does it work in Dorking?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Mole Valley District Council handles planning for Dorking, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What is worth knowing?
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.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.

Do you need consent in Dorking?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Mole Valley District Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Mole Valley District Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
