What happens across Oxfordshire?
We work right across Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon and Bicester. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Oxford, Cherwell and Vale of White Horse. Oxford's historic centre needs great care, with Banbury, Abingdon, Witney and Bicester all busy trading towns.
What makes the difference?
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
What are the guide prices?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Oxfordshire?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. 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 steel shopfronts across Oxfordshire?
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront across Oxfordshire?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Does a new shopfront across Oxfordshire need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
