How does it work across Cheshire?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Warrington, Chester, Crewe and Ellesmere Port are among the places we cover. Councils here include Warrington, Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester. Black-and-white frontages in Chester and Nantwich need a light touch, whereas Warrington, Crewe and Widnes have plenty of modern parades.

What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent across Cheshire?
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.
