What happens across the West Midlands?
In the West Midlands, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Dudley. Birmingham has the Soho Road and city-centre units, the Black Country has the high streets of Walsall, Dudley and West Bromwich, and Coventry and Wolverhampton are large centres. It is also home ground: our base is at Great Barr.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
Will this need planning permission across the West Midlands?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
