Timber shopfronts, Leicester
Timber shopfronts in Leicester start from about £3,800 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
For Leicester shops and offices, we start by measuring the actual opening, not a photo so the timber shopfronts arrive made to fit.
Timescales
Allow 5-7 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. Installation in Leicester is usually a day or two once everything is made. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
Specification notes
Where a parade is listed or sits in a conservation area, the planning authority will often expect timber. You can specify concealed modern weathering and security details; engineered hardwood sections.
Coverage
We treat Leicester as part of our Leicestershire round including the LE postcodes, and we are often working close by in Melton Mowbray, Coalville and Market Harborough.
Permission and Leicester City Council
The local planning authority for Leicester is Leicester City Council. Like-for-like work rarely needs consent, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. The survey confirms which rules apply.
Costs
Budget from £3,800 plus VAT as a starting point. Your quote depends on the opening size, the finish and how easy access is. The written quotation is valid for 90 days.
Common questions
Can you work outside trading hours?
Yes, work can be arranged for a closed day or outside trading hours where the business cannot close. We agree it with you when booking.
Is the survey free?
Yes. The survey is free and carries no obligation to go ahead.
How long is the quotation valid?
Quotations are valid for 90 days from the date they are issued.
How do payments work?
A deposit is taken when you accept the quotation, a further stage payment on the first day of installation, and the balance on satisfactory completion. The exact split is set out on your quotation.
