What can you expect in Ardrossan?
A frontage in Ardrossan has to suit the street as well as the shop. North Ayrshire Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What should you think about first?
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Ardrossan?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but North Ayrshire 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.
