Permission and Erewash Borough Council
The local planning authority for Ilkeston is Erewash Borough Council. Like-for-like work rarely needs consent, though external shutters and lit signs normally need approval. We check which applies to your unit at survey.
How much?
Budget from £2,450 plus VAT as a starting point. Width, height, finish and access move the final figure. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
How long it takes
Lead time is typically 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off. Fitting a standard Ilkeston unit is normally one to two days on site. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.
Specification notes
Aluminium is the default for high-street retail because the sections stay slim, the powder coat can match any brand colour, and the frame will not rot, swell or warp. Common specifications: thermally broken or non-thermal sections to suit the unit; any RAL colour, including dual-colour frames.
