What can you expect across Dorset?
In Dorset, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch. Bournemouth and Poole carry most of the larger units, while Dorchester, Bridport and Weymouth have older streets and sea air.
What makes the difference?
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
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.
How much will it cost?

Do you need consent across Dorset?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. 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 across Dorset?
Does a new shopfront across Dorset need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How soon can you fit a frameless glass shopfront across Dorset?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
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.
