Aluminium cladding and ACM panels in Cheshire

Cladding changes how a building looks, so in the North West we confirm with you whether a planning application is likely for your Cheshire unit.

Anthracite aluminium composite panels fitted to a fascia

Cladding can cover tired brickwork on your Cheshire premises, but we check the wall behind first so that no defect is hidden. We measure columns, soffits and fascias together on one visit, so that panel joints line up neatly across your Cheshire frontage.

What do we offer in Cheshire?

Perforated panelsPerforated sheet can screen plant or add a pattern, with optional backlighting.
ACM panelsTwo aluminium skins and a core make a flat, light panel that is easy to rout and fold into trays.
Column and soffit casingsPanels wrap columns, beams and canopy undersides to tidy up the structure.

How much does it cost in Cheshire?

As a guide, allow £120 to £260 ex VAT per m². Owners across the North West can ask us to match an existing RAL colour, which keeps a new section in line with the rest of a Cheshire building. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cheshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cheshire, including Chester, Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port.

What is the difference between ACM and solid aluminium?

ACM has a core between two thin aluminium skins, so it is lighter, flatter and easier to fold. Solid aluminium sheet has no core, which removes any question about core material, but it is heavier and may need more stiffening on large panels.

Is ACM cladding safe to use?

It depends on the core and where it is used. In England, metal composite panels with an unmodified polyethylene core are banned from the external walls of buildings of any height. Mineral-filled and solid aluminium options are available. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so check early.

Do I need planning permission for shop cladding?

Usually yes in England, if the cladding materially alters how the building looks. Recladding a fascia like for like may not need it, but a new colour or material across a facade usually will. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and listed buildings need extra care.
