Aluminium cladding and ACM panels Leicestershire

Core choice depends on the building, so we confirm the fire requirements for your Leicestershire premises before choosing a panel. Cladding changes how a building looks, so in the East Midlands we confirm with you whether a planning application is likely for your Leicestershire unit.

What do we offer in Leicestershire?

Column and soffit casingsPanels wrap columns, beams and canopy undersides to tidy up the structure.

Mineral-filled coreA mineral-filled core gives a much better reaction to fire class than a polyethylene core, and it is often the starting point for external walls.

Cassette panelsFolded trays hang on a rail, with hidden fixings and neat shadow gaps.

How much does it cost in Leicestershire?

As a guide, allow £120 to £260 ex VAT per m². Scaffold or tower access may be needed, and we build that into the quote so owners in the East Midlands see the full cost of a Leicestershire job. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Leicestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.

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.

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.

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.
