Glasgow is a county of sandstone tenements with generous room heights and original press cupboards. 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
Walls in Glasgow are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A shopfront fascia that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
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.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Fascias & Signboards in Glasgow — common questions
Can a fascia carry illuminated signage?
Yes, if it is built to. We set solid blocking behind the board where the fixings and the cable run will land, rather than leaving the sign company to fix into a thin panel.
Do I need consent to change a fascia?
Advertisement consent is usually needed for the sign itself, and in a conservation area the fascia joinery may need planning permission too. Worth checking before ordering, not after.
Can you fit a fascia to a curved frontage?
Yes, laminated to the radius taken off the survey. A fascia bent on site against its will opens at the joints within a season.
Can the old fascia be repaired instead?
If the rot is local and the mouldings are sound, we splice in new hardwood and re-profile it. If the board is delaminating or the blocking has gone, replacement is cheaper than repeated repairs.
What guarantee do you give?
Ten years on workmanship. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty, which on good runners and hinges is usually lifetime. Finishes are guaranteed for five years against flaking or delamination in normal domestic use.
