Berkshire
Shop awnings and blinds in Berkshire
Cafes in the South East can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Berkshire premises need.
We inspect the wall at your Berkshire premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets. Before ordering an awning in Berkshire, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Berkshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Berkshire, including Bracknell, Maidenhead, Newbury, Reading.
How high must an awning be above the pavement?
It depends on the highway authority, but 2.3 to 2.75 m above the pavement is common, measured to the lowest point of the awning or valance. Most also want a clear gap from the kerb. We check with your authority before we set the position.
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.
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.
