What is worth knowing?
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.
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 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.
Will this need planning permission across Bedfordshire?
Very likely. Your council will look closely at frontages in conservation areas, and any listed building needs listed building consent as well. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
