Permission and Leicester City Council
In Leicester, applications go to Leicester City Council. Swapping like for like is usually fine, but a changed appearance, an external shutter or an illuminated sign usually does. You will know before you order.
What it costs in Leicester
Budget from £3,800 plus VAT as a starting point. Your quote depends on the opening size, the finish and how easy access is. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
From order to fitted
Expect 5-7 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. Installation in Leicester is usually a day or two once everything is made. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
