How does it work in Dunstable?
Working in Dunstable means working with Central Bedfordshire 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 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.
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 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.
What are the guide prices?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Dunstable?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Central Bedfordshire Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
