What can you expect in Altrincham?
Working in Altrincham means working with Trafford Metropolitan Borough 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 should you check before you decide?
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.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
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 are the guide prices?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in Altrincham?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council. 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 steel shopfronts in Altrincham?
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.
Do you cover the postcodes around Altrincham?
Yes, including WA14.
Does a new shopfront in Altrincham need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Does steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
