What should you check before you decide?
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.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
Will this need planning permission in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Wigan Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
