What can you expect across Berkshire?
In Berkshire, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Reading, Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead. Reading and Slough carry the large retail units, while Windsor, Newbury and Wokingham have older streets where the frontage has to suit the building.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,995 to £6,495 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £5,195 to £8,495 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £6,595 to £10,995 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £8,495 to £13,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent across Berkshire?
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.
What do people ask about timber shopfronts across Berkshire?
Does a new shopfront across Berkshire need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
How soon can you fit a timber shopfront across Berkshire?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Can a listed building have a new shopfront?
Only with listed building consent, and your council will expect the historic details to be respected.
