What happens in Tilbury?
Tilbury sits in Essex, and Thurrock Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
How much will it cost?
| 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 Tilbury?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Thurrock Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts in Tilbury?
Does a new shopfront in Tilbury need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Thurrock Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
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.
Do you cover the postcodes around Tilbury?
Yes, including RM18.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
