Bi-fold and folding shop fronts in Surrey
A folding front lets a Surrey cafe or bar open to the street in good weather and still close up securely at night.
Wind exposure differs across the South East, so we match the sill, seals and track to the position of your Surrey frontage. Neighbours and licensing conditions can matter once the front opens, so businesses in the South East should check any noise limits on their Surrey premises first.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Surrey?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Surrey, including Camberley, Epsom, Farnham, Guildford.
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.
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.
