Bi-fold and folding shop fronts Cambridgeshire

Tables outside may need a licence, so check with the local authority covering Cambridgeshire before planning around a fully open frontage. Installing a bi-fold in Cambridgeshire usually means taking out the old front, and teams working across the East of England can plan that around your trading hours.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cambridgeshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Ely, March, Peterborough.

Can a bi-fold front be used as a fire exit?

Not by default. An escape door must open easily without special knowledge, and a multi-panel fold often does not, so the traffic door or a separate exit usually serves that role. Your fire risk assessment should cover this and be kept up to date.

Are bi-fold shop fronts secure?

Yes, when they are closed with multi-point locks and hinges that cannot be lifted out from outside. Each panel locks to its neighbour, with shootbolts into the head and floor. For higher-risk premises, laminated glass or an internal grille adds further protection.

Do I need planning permission for a bi-fold shop front?

Usually yes in England, because replacing a frontage with folding panels can materially change its appearance. Tables on the pavement may also need a licence. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we go through this with you at survey.
