How does it work in Portland?
Working in Portland means working with Dorset Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.

What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Portland?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Dorset Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

How soon can you fit a frameless glass shopfront in Portland?
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.
Does a new shopfront in Portland need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Dorset Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
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.
