If your Ashington unit has a damaged lintel or rotten subframe, we find it at survey and price it before any frame is ordered. A new aluminium shop front in Ashington starts with a free survey, so the written fixed quote reflects your actual opening and not a guess.

What does it cost in Ashington?
As a guide, an aluminium shop front costs £2,495 to £7,995 ex VAT for a typical 3 to 5 m frontage, supplied and fitted. The final figure depends on width and height, glass type, the number of doors, any recessed entrance, thermally broken framing and how much of the old front needs stripping out. You get a free survey and a written fixed quote before anything is ordered.
Landlords with several units in Northumberland can use one frame profile and RAL colour, so an Ashington frontage matches the rest of the estate. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Ashington job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in NE22, NE62, NE63?
Yes. Ashington and the NE22, NE62, NE63 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
Can I keep trading while the new front is fitted?
Yes, in most cases. Out-of-hours, overnight and weekend fitting can be arranged, and a secure temporary hoarding can close the opening between shifts. We agree the sequence at survey, so you know which parts of the shop stay open and when.
Do I need planning permission for a new aluminium shop front?
Usually yes in England, if the new front materially changes how the building looks. A like-for-like repair usually does not need it. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check first and can prepare drawings, though the council makes the decision.
