How does it work in Handsworth?
Handsworth sits in the West Midlands, and Birmingham City Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Handsworth?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Birmingham City Council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

Does a new shopfront in Handsworth need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Birmingham City Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
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.
How much does a steel shopfront cost in Handsworth?
