Aluminium shopfronts, Birmingham

Aluminium shopfronts in Birmingham start from about £2,450 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.

For Birmingham shops and offices, every job begins with a visit to measure the opening and the aluminium shopfronts are then made to those dimensions.

Price guide

The entry price is about £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

Manufacture usually takes 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.

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.

Our West Midlands area

Our Birmingham jobs sit within West Midlands covering B postcodes, which puts it on the same route as Sutton Coldfield, Halesowen and Stourbridge.

Local planning

The local planning authority for Birmingham is Birmingham City Council. Swapping like for like is usually fine, though external shutters and lit signs normally need approval. You will know before you order.
