Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Merseyside
Installing a bi-fold in Merseyside usually means taking out the old front, and teams working across the North West can plan that around your trading hours.
Wind exposure differs across the North West, so we match the sill, seals and track to the position of your Merseyside frontage. Tables outside may need a licence, so check with the local authority covering Merseyside before planning around a fully open frontage.

How much does it cost in Merseyside?
Expect £3,495 to £8,995 ex VAT per opening. We check the head above your Merseyside opening at the free survey, because a top-hung system relies on a level and strong structure. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Merseyside?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Merseyside, including Bebington, Birkenhead, Bootle, Huyton.
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.
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.
