Full-cassette awnings measured, built and fitted across Chelmsford and the surrounding CM villages — by our own team.
Chelmsford is the closest of our Essex areas to the showroom, and one of the easiest to serve well. It is also one where the housing stock genuinely suits awnings: Moulsham and Springfield carry solid Victorian and Edwardian property with high rear walls, and the newer estates around Beaulieu Park and Chancellor Park have the wide, plain elevations that make fitting straightforward.
The villages are a different proposition. Writtle, Danbury, Little Baddow, Boreham and Ingatestone run to period cottages, weatherboard, render and a fair amount of listed property, often with conservation-area constraints attached. Danbury in particular sits high and gets noticeably more wind than the city does, and we specify for that rather than ignoring it.
Email photos and measurements to sales@premier-awnings.com for a provisional quote. Then book a site survey (£150 + VAT locally), fully deducted from the order if you go ahead.
On the newer Chelmsford estates the constraint is usually not the wall but the space. Rear elevations on modern builds are often narrower than the garden suggests, and frequently broken by bi-fold doors or a kitchen extension. We size to the elevation rather than the terrace, and where the run is interrupted we will propose two smaller cassettes over one compromised span.
On the Victorian and Edwardian stock around Moulsham and Springfield, the Mayfair and Primrose project up to 3.5 m and the Kensington up to 3.0 m. Optional shake sensor that automatically retracts the awning in excessive movement. It adds protection, but isn't a substitute for retracting the awning in strong winds.
Fabric inland is mostly a question of fade resistance and how the colour reads against the brick. Italian Tempotest is solution-dyed acrylic, so the colour goes through the fibre rather than sitting on the surface. We bring the full sample book to the survey.
We cover Chelmsford city and the surrounding CM villages. Surveys are usually booked within a week of your enquiry, with fitting typically 4–6 weeks out.

Installation is priced by location and fixing. A local site survey is £150 + VAT and fully deducted from the order if you go ahead.
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do on the newer Chelmsford estates. The awning fits above the opening rather than across it, so the doors work normally with the awning out. The survey is where we establish whether there is enough clear wall above the frame — that is the constraint, not the doors themselves.
Optional shake sensor that automatically retracts the awning in excessive movement. It adds protection, but isn't a substitute for retracting the awning in strong winds.
Most residential awnings don't need planning permission. Listed buildings, conservation areas and commercial premises may need planning or advertisement consent, so please check with your local council.
Typically 4–6 weeks. The survey is usually within a week of you getting in touch; manufacture takes the bulk of the remaining time, and the fit itself is generally a single day.
