Allow 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. Fitting a standard Uppingham unit is normally one to two days on site. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
About the product
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. Popular choices include heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles; leaves stack neatly to one or both sides.
Our Rutland area
We treat Uppingham as part of our Rutland round including the LE postcodes, and we are often working close by in Oakham.
