What can you expect across Hertfordshire?
We work right across Hertfordshire, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Watford, East Hertfordshire and Hertsmere. Watford, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead have planned centres, with St Albans and Hitchin among the older towns.
What should you think about first?
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
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?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Hertfordshire?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your 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.

Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?

Does a new shopfront across Hertfordshire 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.

Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
