What happens at the survey?
The survey for aluminium shopfronts in Rochdale covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Rochdale we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and salons, barbers and beauty clinics.

What should Rochdale owners check first?
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
