Shop awnings and blinds in Bedfordshire
Before ordering an awning in Bedfordshire, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects.
A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in the East of England can ask us to match a fascia box to their Bedfordshire premises. Cafes in the East of England can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Bedfordshire premises need.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Bedfordshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bedfordshire, including Bedford, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Luton.
Can an awning stay out in the wind?
No, awnings should be retracted in high wind, as most are designed for shade and light rain. Wind sensors can retract motorised models automatically. BS EN 13561 gives wind resistance classes, so ask which class applies to your product.
Will an awning protect my stock from the sun?
Yes, it reduces the direct sun reaching the window display, which helps limit fading, and it can keep the front of the shop cooler. Results depend on the direction of the frontage and the projection of the awning. A light-coloured cover lets in more daylight.
Do I need planning permission for a shop awning?
Often yes in England, since an awning can change the appearance of the frontage, and lettering on it can need advertisement consent. Highway approval can also apply. Listed buildings need extra consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check before ordering.
