What should you think about first?
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
Will this need planning permission in Romford?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to London Borough of Havering. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
