Shopfronts & entrances
Timber shopfronts
Put simply, timber shopfronts are traditional hardwood frontages for period and conservation parades, measured on site and installed by one team from survey to sign-off.
Why businesses choose it
The frame is fabricated to the measurements taken at survey, so it fits the opening first time. Door hardware is chosen with you: closer strength, lock type and handle style all go on the drawing. Colours are matched to a RAL reference, so a brand colour or a landlord's parade colour can be followed exactly.

Questions about timber shopfronts
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.
How much does timber shopfronts cost near me?
Timber shopfronts start from around £3,800 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
