What is worth knowing?
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 does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
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.
Do you need consent in Kirkwall?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Orkney Islands Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about frameless glass shopfronts in Kirkwall?
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.
Does a new shopfront in Kirkwall need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Orkney Islands Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How soon can you fit a frameless glass shopfront in Kirkwall?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Do glass shopfronts need markings?
Large areas of glass that people could walk into need to be made visible, so we allow for manifestation where it is needed.
