Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Shropshire
Tables outside may need a licence, so check with the local authority covering Shropshire before planning around a fully open frontage.
We check the head above your Shropshire 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 West Midlands should check any noise limits on their Shropshire premises first.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Shropshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Shropshire, including Bridgnorth, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Telford.
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.
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.
