Canopies and glazed extensions in Berwick-upon-Tweed
We check the wall at your Berwick-upon-Tweed premises first, because the load from a canopy has to go somewhere solid.
Consent needs differ from site to site, so for premises in Northumberland we confirm what your Berwick-upon-Tweed canopy needs before manufacture starts. Anything over a pavement in Berwick-upon-Tweed 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 223 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 TD15, and we also cover Alnwick, Morpeth and Ashington nearby.

What does it cost in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
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.
Cafes across Northumberland that want extra covers can look at a small glazed extension, subject to consent for your Berwick-upon-Tweed premises. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Berwick-upon-Tweed job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in TD15?
Yes. Berwick-upon-Tweed and the TD15 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 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.
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 new shopfront in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
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.
