Awnings can start from as little as £4000. However, there is much to consider when pricing your Awnings, such as sizes and any add-ons, like lighting and heating. Every quote is bespoke to the client’s needs.

 

Do I need planning permission for an Awning?

If you are installing an Awnings in your garden, you will not normally need planning permission. However, for all instances, it does depend on the surroundings and if your building is listed. Commercial Awnings customers should ensure they have full permission to have an Awning installation before ordering.

An Awnings installation can take anywhere from 1-3 days, depending on the size, be sure to take this into consideration in your diary. On larger and more complex builds, installation can take up to 5 days. If purchasing a commercial Awnings, consider how this will affect your business and opening hours ahead of time.
