Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Nottinghamshire

Tables outside may need a licence, so check with the local authority covering Nottinghamshire before planning around a fully open frontage.

Bi-fold doors open across a restaurant frontage

We check the head above your Nottinghamshire opening at the free survey, because a top-hung system relies on a level and strong structure. A folding front lets a Nottinghamshire cafe or bar open to the street in good weather and still close up securely at night.

What do we offer in Nottinghamshire?

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

How much does it cost in Nottinghamshire?

The guide price is £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 Nottinghamshire frontage. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Nottinghamshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Nottinghamshire, including Arnold, Beeston, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield.

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.

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.
