Canopies and glazed extensions in Northumberland
Cafes across the North East that want extra covers can look at a small glazed extension, subject to consent for your Northumberland premises.
We check the wall at your Northumberland premises first, because the load from a canopy has to go somewhere solid. Anything over a pavement in Northumberland needs early contact with the highway or roads authority, so we raise it at the first visit.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Northumberland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.
Can a canopy be fixed to any wall?
No. The wall must be strong enough to carry the load and the leverage from wind. Thin brick skins, render or old lintels may not be suitable, so some canopies need posts or a steel frame. We check this and involve a structural engineer where needed.
Do glazed extensions need building regulations approval?
Usually yes, because they add floor area and affect structure, energy, access and fire safety. In England, building control checks this against the Approved Documents. Scotland needs a building warrant, and Northern Ireland uses Technical Booklets. Some small ground-floor porches can be exempt, so check first.
What glass should be used in a canopy?
Laminated glass should be used overhead, because it stays in place if it breaks. Laminated toughened glass is the common choice for canopies fixed with brackets or tie rods. The thickness depends on span, fixing and loads, so it is confirmed by calculation.
