Delivering Excellence in Canopies, Shelters, and Complete Project Solutions for Over 20 Years

Virtual and On-Site Surveys

To ensure the safety of our staff and customers, we are able to offer you a choice of a virtual survey (online only) or a full site survey in person. If you’d like to opt for a virtual survey, we can discuss your canopy needs over the phone and will ask you to send us photographs of the area with measurements. We will then be able to send you an estimate via email. To use this service, please call us or send an email: Contact Able Canopies.

Here’s a quick overview of what will happen when you pick up the phone or send us an email.

1. Contact us and tell us what type of product you are interested in. If you’re not sure, don’t worry! Our friendly sales team will go through different options with you explaining their different features and benefits to see which is right for you. We’ll also ask you whether you think you will need a planning application- find out more about our Planning Help here

2. Book a survey – Our sales team will also check where you are in the country and whether your requirements are something we think we can help with and then it’s time for us to get out there and meet you face to face! We will organise for one of our Surveyors to visit you at a time convenient to you and complete your free site survey.

3. The Survey – Our Surveyor will chat with you about your requirements, whether you had a product in mind and what they recommend for you. They will also go through your Quotation Pack which contains lots of background information on Able Canopies. They will take careful measurements of the area and all this information will be sent off to our pricing team for them to create your free quotation/s.

4. Design – If you require a bespoke design, our Design and Build team will then work to create your unique vision, once you are happy with the design we will price this up for you.

5. Over to you – Once we have put your quotation together we will send this over to you via email and also post a copy if you would like a paper version – you can then add this to your Quotation Pack to keep all your canopy information in one place. We will then contact you a few days later to make sure you received your quote and to check whether you have any questions. Once you have reviewed your quotation let us know your thoughts and any changes required – we are happy to amend quotations to better suit your requirements if needed.

6. Ordering – When you have decided you want to place an order – let us know, we shall then send out your order form and you will be assigned your dedicated Project manager to oversee you installation. If you require planning, our Planning team will also contact you to guide you through this process- at no extra charge to you.

7. Installing your product – Your Project manager will work with you to find the best time for your installation. If you are a school and want a holiday booking, let us know as soon as possible so we can reserve a place for you. But don’t worry as we also have extensive experience of installing during term time and will discuss any health and safety concerns with you beforehand, so term time installations are always a great option too.

8. Aftercare – Once installed, our fitters will check you are happy with the finished product and ask you to complete our Project Completion Form, so we can collect all your feedback and ensure we continue to develop our service to meet your needs. We will then send out your After Sales pack which will include your guarantee, if applicable, your maintenance schedule which advises on how to care for your canopy product and your £250 voucher of your next canopy.

9. Enjoy your new shade and shelter product!
