What should you check before you decide?
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Port Glasgow?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Inverclyde Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
