What can you expect in South Shields?
Our surveys in South Shields cover postcodes including NE33 and NE34, along with Tynemouth and North Shields. Planning applications here go to South Tyneside Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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 should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in South Shields?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from South Tyneside Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
