Permission and Derby City Council
In Derby, applications go to Derby City Council. A straight replacement is normally permitted, but anything that alters the look of the street usually needs consent. We check which applies to your unit at survey.
Price guide
The entry price is about £8,500 plus VAT. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. Your price is held for 90 days.
How long it takes
Expect 6-10 weeks, project dependent for manufacture. Installation in Derby is usually a day or two once everything is made. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
Specification notes
Curtain walling hangs a glazed skin off the structural frame rather than sitting inside an opening, which is why it is specified on multi-storey commercial work. Popular choices include stick or unitised systems; thermally broken mullions and transoms.

Questions from Derby customers
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does curtain walling cost in Derby?
Curtain walling start from around £8,500 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission in Derby?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from Derby City Council. We tell you which applies at survey.
