What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Leighton Buzzard?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Central Bedfordshire Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
