Curtain walling in Ashington
South-facing glass can overheat a room, so we can price solar control glass for your Ashington premises if that is a concern.
We start from your Ashington building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points. If your Ashington unit has a double-height entrance, curtain walling can carry the glass up past the normal shop opening.
Ashington is around 183 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include NE22, NE62, NE63, and we also cover Blyth, Morpeth and Cramlington nearby.

What does it cost in Ashington?
Curtain walling usually costs £550 to £950 ex VAT per m², supplied and fitted. System type, glass specification, height, grid size and access set the rate. Scaffolding or powered access, structural calculations, fire stopping at floor edges and any removal of existing cladding are usually added on top. We measure from drawings or on site and provide a written quote.
Developers and landlords in Northumberland can get one priced package for an Ashington building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Ashington site clean.

What is the difference between curtain walling and a shopfront?
Curtain walling spans floors and hangs off the building structure, while a shopfront sits inside an opening, usually at ground level. Curtain walling has to carry higher wind and weather loads, so the sections are deeper and the design calculations more involved.
Does curtain walling need building regulations approval?
Yes in most cases, because it affects the external wall, energy and fire performance. In England, the relevant guidance includes Approved Documents L and B. Scotland uses building warrants and the Technical Handbooks, Northern Ireland uses Technical Booklets, and Wales has its own Approved Documents.
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.
