How does it work in Dumbarton?
A frontage in Dumbarton has to suit the street as well as the shop. West Dunbartonshire Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.

What should you check before you decide?
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
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 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.
Will this need planning permission in Dumbarton?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from West Dunbartonshire Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts in Dumbarton?
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Dumbarton?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Does a new shopfront in Dumbarton need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. West Dunbartonshire 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.
Does steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
