What can you expect across Tyne and Wear?
In Tyne and Wear, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. Newcastle has Grainger Town, and Sunderland, Gateshead and coastal centres such as Whitley Bay and Tynemouth have their own high streets.
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.
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.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
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 |
