Shop awnings and blinds in Merseyside
Cafes in the North West can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Merseyside premises need.
A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in the North West can ask us to match a fascia box to their Merseyside premises. Before ordering an awning in Merseyside, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects.
What do we offer in Merseyside?
How much does it cost in Merseyside?
Budget £895 to £3,495 ex VAT per awning. We inspect the wall at your Merseyside premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Merseyside?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Merseyside, including Bebington, Birkenhead, Bootle, Huyton.
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.
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.
