How does it work in Barnstaple?
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 EX31, EX32 and EX33.
What are the guide prices?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Barnstaple?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but North Devon District Council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
