What should you think about first?
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission across Leicestershire?
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.
