What happens in Bodmin?
Working in Bodmin means working with Cornwall 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 makes the difference?
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Bodmin?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Cornwall Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Cornwall Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Bodmin?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Do you cover the postcodes around Bodmin?

Does steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
