What happens across Essex?
In Essex, 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 Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford. Southend, Basildon and Chelmsford have large retail streets, and Colchester and Saffron Walden have older centres.
What should you check before you decide?
What happens to my old frontage?
If the job is a replacement, removal and disposal are priced on the quotation, and we aim to leave the unit secure or boarded overnight.
Why plan the frontage and shutter together?
Because the shutter box needs a home. Plan it with the fascia and it disappears. Add it later and it usually ends up on the face of the building.
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
One company. Your contract is with S&K Glazing Limited for both parts, so nobody can point at the other contractor.
What should you budget?
| Package | Up to 3 m wide | 5 to 6 m wide |

| Security package | £5,095 to £7,995 | £10,095 to £15,995 |
| Display package | £4,195 to £6,295 | £7,995 to £12,295 |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Essex?
Probably, if it is external. Your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. 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 shopfront and shutter packages across Essex?
How long does a package take across Essex?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
Do you cover Essex for both the shopfront and shutter?
Yes. One surveyor and one fitting team handle both parts across Essex.
Who decides planning for a frontage across Essex?
Your council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
Is it cheaper to buy the shopfront and shutter together?
We price each part honestly and do not promise a discount. What you avoid is a second survey, a second visit, a second closure and a shutter box added after the event.
