Aluminium frame repairs in Dorset
Photos of your Dorset frame, close up and from across the street, help us judge what needs doing before any visit is booked.
We can arrange frame repairs in Dorset or anywhere in the South West out of hours, overnight or at weekends, so the shop does not have to close. If a van or forklift has struck your Dorset shopfront, check whether the door still closes and whether the glass is still firmly held.
What do we fix in Dorset?
How much does it cost in Dorset?
Budget £195 to £995 ex VAT for most repairs. A dented or loose aluminium frame on your Dorset frontage can often be repaired section by section, leaving the sound parts untouched. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.
Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
Do you need to take the glass out to repair the frame?
Not always. Cover caps, gaskets and small sections can often be changed with the glass in place. Larger repairs need the glass out, and we include any temporary boards in the price. Toughened panes cannot be reworked, so they are handled with care.
Can a corroded aluminium frame be saved?
Usually yes, if the corrosion is on the surface. We remove loose material, treat it and refinish the area. Frames that have lost strength around fixings, corners or the cill need the affected section replacing, and we will tell you which applies.
A vehicle has hit my shopfront. Can I claim for the frame?
You may be able to, but your insurer or the driver's insurer decides. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for them, though we cannot promise a claim will be paid. Report the incident and get the vehicle details before any repairs start.
