How does it work across County Durham?
We work right across County Durham, including Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Darlington, County Durham and Stockton-on-Tees. Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees have long high streets, while Durham has a historic centre that needs care.
What is worth knowing?
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.
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
What should you budget?

| 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 |
