What should you think about first?
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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Fort William?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Highland 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.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts in Fort William?
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 a new shopfront in Fort William need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Highland Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How much does a steel shopfront cost in Fort William?
Guide prices start from £3,600 plus VAT. Size, doors and glass set the final figure after a survey by arrangement.
Does steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
