What can you expect across Greater Glasgow?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock and Bearsden are among the places we cover. Councils here include Glasgow City, Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire. Tenement ground floors run across Glasgow and Paisley, often as long rows of units under flats, and town centres line the Clyde.

What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission across Greater Glasgow?
Very likely. Your council will look closely at frontages in conservation areas, and any listed building needs listed building consent as well. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about timber shopfronts across Greater Glasgow?
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.
Does a new shopfront across Greater Glasgow 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 Greater Glasgow?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Do I need timber in a conservation area?
Not always, but many councils prefer it. Check your council's guidance before you commit, and we can advise what to look for.
