What is worth knowing?
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 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 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 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 |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Galashiels?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Scottish Borders 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.
