What can you expect across Leicestershire?
In Leicestershire, 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 Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville. Leicester has its Golden Mile and city-centre streets, and market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough have smaller frontages.
What should you think about first?
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives more privacy and strength. Perforated keeps the window working at night. On the outside of a shop, some councils resist both, so check before you choose.
What does one drawing change?
Everything lines up: door head, guide channels, fascia, sign fixing and power supply. It also gives your council or landlord one clear document to look at.
How does a joint install save trading time?
The frontage and shutter go in as one sequence, so you close once. With two contractors, you close twice and hope they agree on who damaged what.
What should you budget?
| Work | Guide price plus VAT |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission across Leicestershire?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from your council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
