How does it work across Cambridgeshire?
We work right across Cambridgeshire, including Peterborough, Cambridge, Wisbech and St Neots. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Peterborough, Fenland and Huntingdonshire. Historic streets in Cambridge and Ely contrast with busy centres such as Peterborough and market towns such as Wisbech and March.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
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 |
