How does it work in Wickford?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Basildon Borough Council handles planning for Wickford, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What should you think about first?
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 do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
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.
What are the guide prices?
