Canopies and glazed extensions in Ashington
Developers fitting out an Ashington unit in Northumberland can include a canopy in the wider frontage price, with one contact for the whole job.
Consent needs differ from site to site, so for premises in Northumberland we confirm what your Ashington canopy needs before manufacture starts. Anything over a pavement in Ashington needs early contact with the highway or roads authority, so we raise it at the first visit.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 183 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover NE22, NE62, NE63 and the surrounding streets, along with Blyth, Morpeth and Cramlington.

What does it cost in Ashington?
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 Ashington premises first, because the load from a canopy has to go somewhere solid. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so an Ashington shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Do you work in NE22, NE62, NE63?
Yes. Ashington and the NE22, NE62, NE63 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
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 I need planning permission for a shop canopy?
Often yes in England, as a canopy usually changes the appearance of the building. Extensions normally need permission too, although limited permitted development rights exist for shops. Listed buildings need consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check this early.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Ashington?
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.
