In Leicester and nearby, every job begins with a visit to measure the opening so the quotation for the aluminium shopfronts is a real figure.
Costs
Aluminium shopfronts start at around £2,450 plus VAT. Width, height, finish and access move the final figure. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
Lead times
Expect 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. On site, most Leicester jobs take one or two days. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
About the product
Aluminium is the default for high-street retail because the sections stay slim, the powder coat can match any brand colour, and the frame will not rot, swell or warp. Popular choices include low-threshold entrance options for level access; thermally broken or non-thermal sections to suit the unit.
Nearby
Leicester falls within Leicestershire including the LE postcodes, with regular work in neighbouring Melton Mowbray, Coalville and Market Harborough.
Do you need consent?
The local planning authority for Leicester is Leicester City Council. A straight replacement is normally permitted, but anything that alters the look of the street usually needs consent. We check which applies to your unit at survey.
Before you book
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
