How does it work in Sunderland?
A frontage in Sunderland has to suit the street as well as the shop. Sunderland City Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What makes the difference?
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
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.
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.
What are the guide prices?
