Steel shopfronts, Dudley
Steel shopfronts in Dudley start from about £3,600 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
Around Dudley, a surveyor measures the unit before anything is priced then we put the steel shopfronts price in writing.
Costs
Budget from £3,600 plus VAT as a starting point. Your quote depends on the opening size, the finish and how easy access is. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
Lead times
Manufacture usually takes 5-6 weeks after drawing sign-off. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
Specification notes
Steel takes an impact that aluminium will not, so it is the usual choice for units that have been targeted before or that sit on a late-night street. Options include crittall-style glazing bar patterns; pairs well with a roller shutter for two layers of delay.
Coverage
We treat Dudley as part of our West Midlands round including the DY postcodes, with regular work in neighbouring Aldridge, Kingswinford and Rowley Regis.
Planning rules in Dudley
In Dudley, applications go to Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. A straight replacement is normally permitted, whereas a new look, an outside shutter box or a lit fascia generally needs an application. The survey confirms which rules apply.
Before you book
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.
