Commercial Shopfronts FAQs
Do you install aluminium and glass shopfronts?
Yes, we design, manufacture and install both aluminium-framed shopfront systems and frameless glass shopfronts. Whether you need a traditional commercial shopfront with slim aluminium profiles or a contemporary glass shopfront with minimal framing, we deliver high-quality installations across London, Kent, Essex and Surrey.
Can you replace shopfront glazing quickly after damage?
Yes, we provide emergency glazing replacement for damaged shopfronts. Our 24/7 team can board and make-safe within hours, then fast-track permanent glazing replacement—often within 2-3 days for standard glass specifications.
Can you match existing RAL colours and aluminium profiles?
Absolutely. We can match any RAL colour for aluminium frames and source compatible profile systems to ensure new or replacement sections blend seamlessly with existing shopfront elements.
Do you provide glazing manifestations and safety markings?
Yes, we supply and apply manifestation graphics, frosted banding, logos and safety markings to comply with Building Regulations and enhance your brand presence. We work with graphic designers or can recommend trusted signage partners.
Can you repair shopfront doors and closers?
Yes, we repair all types of shopfront door hardware including floor springs, overhead closers, locks, handles and automatic operators. We carry common parts on our vans for fast repairs.
Can you work out of hours to avoid trading disruption?
Yes, we regularly complete shopfront installations during evenings, overnight and weekends. This is standard practice for retail and hospitality clients who cannot close during trading hours. No premium charges for out-of-hours work.
What security options are available for shopfronts?
We offer anti-ram raid glazing, laminated security glass, reinforced frames and integration with alarm and CCTV systems. For high-risk premises, we can specify glazing to LPS 1175 standards for enhanced protection.
How long does a complete shopfront installation take?
Most single-unit shopfront installations are completed in 1-2 days. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We schedule work to minimise disruption and can phase installations if required.
Do you handle planning applications for shopfront changes?
Many shopfront replacements are permitted development, but where planning permission is needed, we can advise on local authority requirements and support your application with drawings and specifications.
Can you remove and dispose of old shopfronts?
Yes, we handle complete removal of existing shopfronts and responsible disposal of old frames, glass and fittings as part of our service. All waste is disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations.
What information do you need to quote for a new shopfront?
We need: site address, approximate dimensions (or we can survey), preferred frame colour, door configuration, any signage requirements, security specifications, and your preferred timescales. Photos of the existing frontage are very helpful.
Do you work with national retail chains and FM companies?
Yes, we work with national brands including Costa Coffee, Pizza Express and many others through their FM providers. We provide consistent quality, documentation and responsive service across multi-site rollouts.
Can you upgrade existing shopfronts without full replacement?
Often, yes. We can replace glazing, upgrade doors and hardware, improve thermal performance and refresh the appearance without full frame replacement—depending on the condition of existing elements.
What thermal performance can shopfronts achieve?
Modern thermally broken aluminium shopfronts achieve excellent U-values for energy efficiency, helping you comply with Building Regulations Part L and reduce heating costs. We specify appropriate glazing and frame systems for your requirements.
Do you provide FENSA certification for shopfronts?
Yes, where applicable, our shopfront installations are FENSA registered. You receive certification and building control notification as part of the service, providing compliance documentation for your records.
How do you ensure security during multi-day installations?
We plan installations carefully to maintain security at all times. If work spans multiple days, we provide temporary hoarding, secure boarding or overnight security measures as required to protect your premises.
