Awnings FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our awnings.
What is an awning?
An awning is an exterior covering typically attached to a wall that provides shade and shelter over a window, door, patio, garden space or conservatory. Awnings are often made from durable, weather-resistant fabrics supported by a sturdy frame, usually aluminium.
How much are awnings in the UK?
Prices start from £3,999 for a high-quality, custom-fitted electric awning. While this may be a larger upfront investment than off-the-shelf options, these awnings are built to last, both in terms of functionality and design appeal.
Do awnings need planning permission in the UK?
No, planning permission is not required for residential awnings, unless the property is listed or in a conservation area, and if the awning extends beyond a certain projection or affects the neighbour's light/privacy. For commercial buildings, planning permission may be required depending on the location and usage.
