Emergency Callout in Birmingham
Emergency Callout for premises across Birmingham, a short drive from our base in Exhall.
What we do in Birmingham
When a Birmingham shop is left open by smashed glass, a forced door or a jammed shutter, ring our emergency line. Birmingham is close to our base, so we can usually reach you quickly, day or night.
We board or glaze the opening, secure the shutter or change the lock, clear the debris and record everything for your insurer, then measure for the permanent repair.
Birmingham is one of our home areas, a short drive from the yard in Exhall, so surveys, fitting days and follow-up visits are easy to arrange.
Shopping streets and planning in Birmingham
The city's high streets are a mix of Victorian parades, 1960s precincts and new developments. Soho Road in Handsworth, Stratford Road, Ladypool Road and Alum Rock Road are lined with busy independent shops where the front and shutter take a battering every day. We see a lot of worn springs, bent laths and dropped doors on these streets, and many fronts that are better repaired than replaced.
Birmingham City Council has conservation areas that matter for shopfronts, including the Jewellery Quarter, parts of Digbeth and Deritend, and several suburban centres such as Harborne and Moseley. In those areas, solid external shutters and oversized fascias are usually refused. Elsewhere the rules are lighter, but a change to how the front looks normally still needs planning permission.
