What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Whitburn?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but West Lothian Council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts in Whitburn?
Does a new shopfront in Whitburn need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. West Lothian Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Whitburn?
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 steel rust?
Not if the finish is right and stays intact. It is galvanised or primed, then powder coated.
