Canopies and glazed extensions in Alnwick
Anything over a pavement in Alnwick needs early contact with the highway or roads authority, so we raise it at the first visit.
Developers fitting out an Alnwick unit in Northumberland can include a canopy in the wider frontage price, with one contact for the whole job. Cafes across Northumberland that want extra covers can look at a small glazed extension, subject to consent for your Alnwick premises.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 199 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include NE65, NE66, NE67, and we also cover Morpeth, Ashington and Blyth nearby.

What does it cost in Alnwick?
Canopies and small glazed extensions usually cost £1,995 to £9,995 ex VAT per canopy or small extension, supplied and fitted. Size, roof type, structure and foundations set the range, with extensions at the upper end. Structural calculations, drainage, lighting and application fees can add to it. If the work crosses the pavement, highway consent may also be needed. We measure first and confirm the price in writing.
We check the wall at your Alnwick premises first, because the load from a canopy has to go somewhere solid. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Alnwick site clean.
Common questions
Can you come out to Alnwick for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Alnwick. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
Can a canopy extend over the pavement?
Sometimes, but only with the agreement of the highway authority. Expect a minimum height, commonly between 2.3 and 2.75 m, and a set distance back from the kerb. A licence may be required, and planning permission usually applies too. We check with your authority first.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Alnwick?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
