What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in St Helens?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to St Helens Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
