Canopies and glazed extensions in Hexham
Cafes across Northumberland that want extra covers can look at a small glazed extension, subject to consent for your Hexham premises.
Developers fitting out a Hexham unit in Northumberland can include a canopy in the wider frontage price, with one contact for the whole job. Anything over a pavement in Hexham needs early contact with the highway or roads authority, so we raise it at the first visit.
Work in Hexham is run from Birmingham, roughly 168 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Hexham work takes in NE46. Neighbouring Consett and Stanley are covered too.

What does it cost in Hexham?
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 Hexham premises first, because the load from a canopy has to go somewhere solid. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Do you cover Hexham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Hexham and across Northumberland, including NE46. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
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 Hexham?
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.
