Shopfronts & doors
Heavy-traffic entrance and fire-exit door sets across the Midlands, from £1,650 plus VAT.
Free survey, no obligation.
Commercial door sets take a different hinge, closer and threshold to a domestic door because they cycle hundreds of times a day. Specified with the ironmongery schedule your insurer or fire risk assessment requires.
Work in a trading unit has to fit around trading. Where the frontage cannot be out of action during opening hours, installation is booked overnight or on a closed day and the premises left secure at every stage.
Ask for the itemised breakdown. It is the quickest way to see where the money is going and what could come out if the budget is tight.
If you already have drawings or a specification, send those over and we will price directly from them.
Yes. Shopfront glass must be toughened or laminated and kitemarked in a critical location, so panes are ordered to the surveyed size — which means a same-day swap is rarely possible on anything large. Boarding secures the opening in the meantime.
Any RAL colour on aluminium and steel. Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and black (RAL 9005) are the most common on high-street units, but the powder coater will match whatever your brand standard specifies.
On a parade where the landlord requires a consistent frontage, we work from the same section profiles and colour reference so the new unit reads as part of the row.
For a like-for-like replacement, usually not. You will need consent for a listed building, in a conservation area, or where you change the appearance of the frontage or add illuminated signage. We can tell you which applies at survey, though the application itself is between you and the council.
Yes. Overnight and closed-day installation is normal for units that cannot lose a trading day, and the premises are left secure at every stage of the work.
What happens next
A rough description and a photo of the frontage is enough to start with.
Survey takes around half an hour. We check the opening, the lintel and how we would get the units in.
Itemised so you can see what each part costs, and held for 30 days.
Date agreed with you, work done around trading, site left clean and the paperwork handed over.
Free survey across the Midlands, a fixed written price, and no obligation to go ahead.
