There may be an extra fee, if works outside of the installation are needed such as:

• Removal/disposal of existing awnings. Typically, our installers charge £50 to remove your existing awning and £50 for disposal. 
  Please note these fees do not include removal/disposal of Victorian-style awnings or dutch canopies and are subject to an awning installation being carried out at the same property at the same time.
• Installation of lights/heaters
• Supply of extra cabling (if the nearest socket is more than 5 metres from the left-hand side of the awning)
• Additional specialist awning brackets

The prices for the above services are quoted directly by your local Primrose-approved installer and prices quoted are to the installers’ discretion.

• Our installers will aim to install your awning within two weeks of submitting your awning installation request. Click here to complete your online installation request.
  Please note if you require additional awning brackets, this may prolong your awning installation during peak times and the price for the additional awning brackets are not included in the price of the awning installation.
• All Primrose awnings are powered with the motor/manual winder on the left-hand side ( if you are facing the house).
  On electric awnings, the 4-core motor cable (black), which is supplied with the awning is approx.1m long. There is a separate 5m long 3-core black cable which will run from your wall switch/remote control box to the nearest plug socket/spur.
• If there is any obstructions like waste pipes, gas/boiler flues (flues can be re-routed by a gas safe engineer) or outward opening bi-folding doors.
  You may require additional brackets or simply install the awning to be slightly higher up the wall to clear any obstructions.
  To view the range of additional specialist awning brackets available, please click here where you can purchase additional brackets through our third-party company called Saffron Shutters & Awnings. All of their awning brackets are available to fit any of our awnings range.
• Not all installations are straight forward but that’s not to say you can’t have an awning. This can be resolved by simply emailing Saffron Shutters & Awnings, during the planning stage of your project with your ideas/requirements with photos of where you are looking to shade and they will be able to assist with your enquiry.
