What can you expect in Chard?
Working in Chard means working with Somerset 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 is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Chard?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Somerset Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
