Curtain walling in Atherstone
Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Atherstone building are covered in our quote for any job in Warwickshire.
We start from your Atherstone building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points. Developers and landlords in Warwickshire can get one priced package for an Atherstone building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together.
Atherstone is about 15 miles from our Great Barr base in Birmingham, so surveys are easy to plan. Jobs in CV9 are planned alongside Nuneaton and Bedworth.

What does it cost in Atherstone?
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.
Taller glazing in Warwickshire has to be designed for its wind exposure, so your Atherstone site is assessed before the frame sizes are fixed. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Atherstone job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Can you come out to Atherstone for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Atherstone. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
Do I need planning permission for curtain walling?
Usually yes in England, because it materially alters the external appearance of the building. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which run separate systems. We can prepare elevations and details to support an application, but the council makes the decision.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Atherstone?
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.
