What can you expect in Workington?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Workington, the job is measured the same way, and Cumberland Council is the council to check with.
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.
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.
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 should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |

Will this need planning permission in Workington?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Cumberland Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
