What should you check before you decide?
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Dumfries?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Dumfries and Galloway Council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.

How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Dumfries?
