What can you expect in Whitby?
A job starts the same way wherever you are: a measured survey, a look at the lintel and floor level, and a conversation about how the unit trades. We cover postcodes including YO22 and YO21, and we also work nearby in Scarborough and Guisborough.
What should you think about first?
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.
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
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.
How much will it cost?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Whitby?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to North Yorkshire Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
