Do you need consent?
The local planning authority for Ilkeston is Erewash Borough Council. Like-for-like work rarely needs consent, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. We check which applies to your unit at survey.
How much?
Steel shopfronts start at around £3,600 plus VAT. Width, height, finish and access move the final figure. The written quotation is valid for 90 days.
How long it takes
Expect 5-6 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. On site, most Ilkeston jobs take one or two days. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.
Specification notes
Steel takes an impact that aluminium will not, so it is the usual choice for units that have been targeted before or that sit on a late-night street. You can specify crittall-style glazing bar patterns; pairs well with a roller shutter for two layers of delay.
