Bi-fold and folding shop fronts Leicestershire

Tables outside may need a licence, so check with the local authority covering Leicestershire before planning around a fully open frontage. Neighbours and licensing conditions can matter once the front opens, so businesses in the East Midlands should check any noise limits on their Leicestershire premises first.

What do we offer in Leicestershire?

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

Top-hung trackThe weight is carried from the head, so the structure above has to be level and strong enough.

Stack both waysPanels split and fold to each side, which helps when the entrance needs to stay central.

How much does it cost in Leicestershire?

Expect £3,495 to £8,995 ex VAT per opening. Wind exposure differs across the East Midlands, so we match the sill, seals and track to the position of your Leicestershire frontage. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Leicestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.

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.

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.

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.
