Shopfronts & entrances
Steel shopfronts
Put simply, steel shopfronts are heavy-section steel frontages for high-risk or heritage-industrial units, measured on site and installed by one team from survey to sign-off.
Why businesses choose it
Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind. Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave.
Working with us
We keep the range deliberately tight so every product we fit is one we install week in, week out. That keeps prices sharp and lead times predictable.
Options and specification
- Crittall-style glazing bar patterns
- Pairs well with a roller shutter for two layers of delay
- Slim steel sections with high impact resistance
How much do steel shopfronts cost?

How long does it take?
Allow 5-6 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. On site, most your jobs take one or two days. Closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.

Questions about steel shopfronts
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
How long does it take?
Lead time for steel shopfronts is typically 5-6 weeks after drawing sign-off. Installation itself is usually one to two days on site for a standard unit.
Can you work outside trading hours?
Yes, work can be arranged for a closed day or outside trading hours where the business cannot close. We agree it with you when booking.
Is the survey free?
Yes. The survey is free and carries no obligation to go ahead.
