Hinckley: timber shopfronts

Timber shopfronts in Hinckley start from about £3,800 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.

In Hinckley and nearby, we survey the opening before any price is given and the timber shopfronts are then made to those dimensions.

Permission and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council

The local planning authority for Hinckley is Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. Replacing an existing frontage in the same style seldom needs permission, but anything that alters the look of the street usually needs consent. The survey confirms which rules apply.
