What happens at the survey?
Before we price aluminium shopfronts in Sudbury, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Sudbury we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.

What should Sudbury 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.
