What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.

Will this need planning permission in Penrith?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Westmorland and Furness Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
