What can you expect across Essex?
Our teams cover Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford and the rest of Essex. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Southend, Basildon and Chelmsford have large retail streets, and Colchester and Saffron Walden have older centres.
What is worth knowing?
Can I phase the work?
Yes. If cash flow is tight, we can fit the frontage first and leave the box, guides and power ready for the shutter later.
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives more privacy and strength. Perforated keeps the window working at night. On the outside of a shop, some councils resist both, so check before you choose.
Will the colours really match?
Frame and shutter are powder coated to the same RAL reference. Coating on different materials can vary slightly, which we will show you on samples first.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Essex?
Probably, if it is external. Your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask about full frontage replacements across Essex?
Can you fit a package around my trading hours across Essex?
Yes. Closed-day or out-of-hours fitting can be arranged.
How much is a shopfront and shutter package across Essex?
For a unit up to 3 m wide, guide prices start from £3,895 plus VAT, with strip-out priced at survey. The written quotation after a free site survey sets the final price.
How long does a package take across Essex?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
What can go wrong with an old opening?
A tired lintel, an uneven floor or walls out of square. We check these at survey and price any work before you accept.
