What happens in Bolton?
Working in Bolton means working with Bolton Metropolitan Borough 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?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Bolton?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts in Bolton?
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Do you cover the postcodes around Bolton?
Yes, including BL1, BL3 and BL2.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Bolton?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
