Conwy is a county of Victorian resort terraces, stone cottages and a strong holiday-let market. That is exactly the kind of building stock a shopfront fascia has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
A shopfront fascia is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Conwy in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Fascias & Signboards in Conwy — common questions
What timber for a painted fascia?
Accoya. It holds paint far longer than softwood because it barely moves with humidity, and paint failure on a fascia is almost always the substrate moving underneath it.
How is the fascia ventilated?
We leave a drained and ventilated cavity behind the board so any moisture that gets past the front face can dry. Sealing a fascia tight to the wall traps water against it.
How deep should a fascia be?
Deep enough that the signwriting has margin above and below — typically 350 to 500mm on a standard frontage. A shallow fascia forces cramped lettering and is the most common reason a new shopfront looks wrong.
What is the cornice for?
It throws water off the face of the fascia. Remove it and the signboard gets a permanent wet stripe. On a period frontage it is also the element that ties the shopfront to the building above.
Do I need to empty the room before you fit?
Clear the working wall and anything fragile. We bring dust sheets and a vacuum-extracted saw, but fitting makes dust and we would rather your furniture was out of the way. For kitchens we will agree a sequence with you so you keep a sink and a kettle for as long as possible.
