What can you expect across Ayrshire?
Our teams cover Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine and Kilwinning and the rest of Ayrshire. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Coastal towns such as Ayr, Troon and Largs sit beside inland centres such as Kilmarnock, so wind-driven salt is a real factor on some frontages and not on others.
What should you think about first?
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.
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.
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 |

Will this need planning permission across Ayrshire?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from your council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
