What happens across Hampshire?
We work right across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Southampton, New Forest and Havant. Southampton and Portsmouth carry the big units, with Winchester, Romsey and Alton having older streets.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
What are the guide prices?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

Do you need consent across Hampshire?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to your council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts across Hampshire?
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 across Hampshire need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront across Hampshire?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
