Bi-fold and folding shop fronts Gloucestershire

We check the head above your Gloucestershire opening at the free survey, because a top-hung system relies on a level and strong structure. Neighbours and licensing conditions can matter once the front opens, so businesses in the South West should check any noise limits on their Gloucestershire premises first.

What do we offer in Gloucestershire?

Stack to one sideAll panels fold to one end, often with a single traffic door built in for daily use.

Low threshold trackA recessed or low floor track helps wheelchair users and reduces trip risk, although weather sealing then needs more care.

Bottom-rolling trackThe weight runs on the floor track, which can suit older openings with a weak head. The track needs regular cleaning.

How much does it cost in Gloucestershire?

Budget £3,495 to £8,995 ex VAT per opening. A folding front lets a Gloucestershire cafe or bar open to the street in good weather and still close up securely at night. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Gloucestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester, Stroud.

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.

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.

Will a folding front let in draughts?

A well-fitted system seals when closed, using gaskets and a weather bar at the sill. The trade-off is at the threshold: a flatter track is easier for wheelchairs but less weather resistant. We design the sill around the exposure of your frontage and any drainage needed.
