Loughborough: aluminium shopfronts
Aluminium shopfronts in Loughborough start from about £2,450 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
For Loughborough shops and offices, we start by measuring the actual opening, not a photo then we put the aluminium shopfronts price in writing.
Lead times
Expect 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. Installation in Loughborough is usually a day or two once everything is made. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
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. Common specifications: any RAL colour, including dual-colour frames; toughened or laminated safety glass to BS EN 12150 / 14449.

Planning rules in Loughborough
Planning in Loughborough goes through Charnwood Borough Council. A straight replacement is normally permitted, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. We flag it at survey so it never delays the fit.
Costs
Budget from £2,450 plus VAT as a starting point. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
