Process

From idea to opening day.

Four stages, one team, one point of contact. Here’s what working with us looks like.

01

Discover

We visit the site, survey it properly and run a short brand workshop with you: who you are, who your customers are and what the street is like.

You get: A clear brief and an honest view of what’s possible.

02

Design

We develop concept options, then refine your favourite into detailed visuals with real materials and finishes.

You get: Visuals, samples, an itemised quote and drawings for any consents.

03

Make

Frames, doors, glazing, fascias and signs are made to the approved drawings.

You get: Regular updates and a confirmed install date.

04

Install

Our own fitters strip out, install, light and snag — planned around your trading hours.

You get: A finished frontage, a handover and aftercare.

Questions we get asked

Do I need planning permission?

Often, yes. In the UK, altering a shopfront usually needs planning permission, and many signs — especially illuminated ones — need advertisement consent. Listed buildings and conservation areas have extra rules. We’ll tell you what applies and prepare the drawings.

Can you just do the design?

Yes. We can design only, or design, make and install. Most clients choose the full package so one team owns the result.

Can you work with my existing brand or designer?

Absolutely. We’ll take your brand guidelines and turn them into a frontage, working alongside your designer if you have one.

Will you work around my opening hours?

Yes. We plan installs to keep disruption to your trading as low as possible.

How much does a shopfront cost?

It depends on size, materials and what’s involved. After the site visit you’ll get a clear, itemised quote.
