What can you expect in Alness?
Most shop owners come to us at one of three points: a new lease, a break-in, or a frontage that has finally given up. In each case the first step is a survey, and we cover postcodes including IV17, IV18 and IV7.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in Alness?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Highland Council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
