Greater London
Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Greater London
Neighbours and licensing conditions can matter once the front opens, so businesses in London should check any noise limits on their Greater London premises first.
Wind exposure differs across London, so we match the sill, seals and track to the position of your Greater London frontage. Installing a bi-fold in Greater London usually means taking out the old front, and teams working across London can plan that around your trading hours.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater London?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.
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.
How many panels does a bi-fold front need?
That depends on the width of the opening, with panels usually around 700 to 1,100 mm wide. An odd number of panels lets one work as a single traffic door for daily use, so you do not have to fold the whole front.
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.
