Aluminium cladding and ACM panels in Greater Manchester
Cladding can cover tired brickwork on your Greater Manchester premises, but we check the wall behind first so that no defect is hidden.

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 Greater Manchester building. Scaffold or tower access may be needed, and we build that into the quote so owners in the North West see the full cost of a Greater Manchester job.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.
How do I clean aluminium cladding?
Wash it with water and a neutral detergent, at intervals that suit the site. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents. Near the sea or a busy road, wash more often, because salt and traffic film can wear the finish. Follow the coating maker's guidance to keep its warranty valid.
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.
Can cladding go over existing brickwork?
Yes, using a support frame fixed back to sound brickwork, with a ventilated gap behind the panels. We check the substrate first, as loose render or damp walls need attention before anything covers them. Insulation and cavity barriers may also be required under building regulations.
