How does it work in Swinton?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Salford City Council handles planning for Swinton, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
What makes the difference?
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
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 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.
Will this need planning permission in Swinton?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Salford City Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Swinton?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Does a new shopfront in Swinton need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Salford City Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
