What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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 Mildenhall?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but West Suffolk 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.

How much does a steel shopfront cost in Mildenhall?
Guide prices start from £3,600 plus VAT. Size, doors and glass set the final figure after a free site survey.
Does a new shopfront in Mildenhall need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. West Suffolk Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
