What should you think about first?
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.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
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 Wanstead?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from London Borough of Redbridge. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
