Shop awnings and blinds in Leicestershire
Cafes in the East Midlands can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Leicestershire premises need.
If your Leicestershire window faces the sun, an awning can limit fading on stock and make the front of the shop more comfortable. A motor with a wind sensor suits staff who are too busy to watch the weather, and owners across the East Midlands can add one to a Leicestershire order.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Leicestershire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.
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.
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.
