Questions About Aluminium Shopfronts?

How much does an aluminium shopfront cost?

Every aluminium shopfront is custom-built to your exact requirements. The final cost depends on factors such as size, glazing, security specifications, finishes, and any additional features. Because no two projects are the same, we provide a detailed fixed-price quote after your free site survey. What we quote is what you pay — with no hidden costs or unexpected extras.

How long does installation actually take?

Most standard aluminium shopfronts are fully fitted in 1 day (6-8 hours). We schedule around your business. If you prefer after-hours or weekend installation, we can arrange that too. Larger installations may take 2 days, but we confirm timeline in your quote.

Do I need planning permission to replace my shopfront?

Most shopfront replacements don't require permission — they're considered "like-for-like" alterations. However, this depends on your property and local council. During your free site survey, we'll assess this and advise you. If you do need permission, we can guide you through the process.

My shopfront is broken. Can you repair it instead of full replacement?

Yes. We do glass replacement, lock repairs, seal replacements, and partial refurbishment. If your frame is solid but glass is cracked or seals are failing, repair often costs less than full replacement. Call us or book a free survey to assess what's needed.

Are these shopfronts secure?

Yes. All come with insurance-approved 5-lever locks as standard. We also offer electric strike locks, magnetic locks, and roller shutter integration. Security options are detailed in your quote.

What if I'm not happy after installation?

We include 2 years of free aftercare. Hinges need adjusting? Seal leaking? Locks sticking? We come back at no additional cost. If there's a genuine defect, we fix it.

Which areas do you cover?

We serve Colchester, Guildford, Crawley, Ipswich, Clacton, Chelmsford, and surrounding areas within 50 miles of our base in Ilford. If your location isn't listed, contact us — we may still be able to help. Call: 07903 198 886.
