What can you expect in Dunbar?
A frontage in Dunbar has to suit the street as well as the shop. East Lothian Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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 should you budget?
| 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 |

Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but East Lothian 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.
