York's Specialist for Patio Awnings
A retractable patio awning is one of the highest-return outdoor investments on a typical York semi. Small footprint, one-day install, immediate use — and it comes off the wall cleanly if you ever sell the house.

York plots — what the survey usually finds
Ouse valley flooding shapes drainage detail; low winter sun means glass roofs pull real heat gains from November onward. The patio awning we build for York accounts for this in the frame section, the roof pitch, and the drainage detail.

Frequently asked questions
What does a patio awning cost in York?
Most York patio awnings sit between £1,800 and £4,500 fitted, depending on size and fabric. Sensors, LED, and heaters are add-ons priced on the quote.
Do you cover Leeds?
Yes — Leeds is 25 miles from York and installs on the same weekly run.
Can it be automated?
Yes — sun, wind and rain sensors trigger the motor without any input. Popular on holiday-home York installs where the owner isn't always there to press retract.
How long does install take?
Half a day to a full day for a single-cassette install on a York patio. Coupled cassettes and electrical spurs run into a second day.
Do I need planning permission for a patio awning?
No — a wall-fixed retractable awning falls under permitted development anywhere in York. Conservation-area rules occasionally apply near the River Ouse; we flag it on the survey.
