What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Whitley Bay?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from North Tyneside Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
