What makes the difference?
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 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.
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.
Do you need consent in Inverness?
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.
