Shopfronts & doors
Heavy-traffic entrance and fire-exit door sets across the Midlands, from £1,650 plus VAT.
Free survey, no obligation.
Commercial door sets take a different hinge, closer and threshold to a domestic door because they cycle hundreds of times a day. Specified with the ironmongery schedule your insurer or fire risk assessment requires.
Work in a trading unit has to fit around trading. Where the frontage cannot be out of action during opening hours, installation is booked overnight or on a closed day and the premises left secure at every stage.
If the unit is leased, check the lease before you commit — some landlords require the frontage to match the rest of the parade, and that is easier to design in than retrofit.
If you already have drawings or a specification, send those over and we will price directly from them.
A straightforward shopfront is one to two days on site once manufactured. Manufacturing is typically three to four weeks from the point you approve the drawings. Shutters alone are usually a single day.
Installation is guaranteed for 12 months. Manufacturer warranties on hardware, motors and powder coating run longer and are passed to you in writing on completion.
Yes, and there is no obligation attached to it. A number of people book one purely to get a realistic figure before they commit to a lease or set a refurbishment budget.
Usually yes, provided the lintel will take the load and there is headroom for the barrel. That is one of the first things checked at survey.
It depends on the opening width, the material and whether the existing frontage needs stripping out. As a guide, an aluminium frontage on a standard single unit usually starts around £2,450 plus VAT. The survey gives you a fixed written figure rather than a range.
