Vale of Glamorgan is a county of limestone cottages, Victorian seaside villas and substantial modern estates. 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
Every shopfront fascia we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Vale of Glamorgan, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
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.

Fit & handover

Straight answers
Fascias & Signboards in Vale of Glamorgan — common questions
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.
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.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
