What happens across Leicestershire?
In Leicestershire, 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 Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville. Leicester has its Golden Mile and city-centre streets, and market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough have smaller frontages.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
How much will it cost?
| 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.
Will this need planning permission across Leicestershire?
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.
