What happens in Seaham?
Working in Seaham means working with Durham County Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.

What should you think about first?
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.
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.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Will this need planning permission in Seaham?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Durham County 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.
