What can you expect across Cornwall?
We work right across Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell and Truro. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Cornwall Council is the council to check with here. Truro, Falmouth and Penzance are built of granite and slate, with salt air and strong weather along much of the coast.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
How much will it cost?
| 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 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission across Cornwall?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your 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.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts across Cornwall?
Does a new shopfront across Cornwall need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
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.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront across Cornwall?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Does steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
