Bi-fold and folding shop fronts West Yorkshire

Installing a bi-fold in West Yorkshire usually means taking out the old front, and teams working across Yorkshire and the Humber can plan that around your trading hours. A folding front lets a West Yorkshire cafe or bar open to the street in good weather and still close up securely at night.

What do we offer in West Yorkshire?

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 to one sideAll panels fold to one end, often with a single traffic door built in for daily use.

How much does it cost in West Yorkshire?

As a guide, allow £3,495 to £8,995 ex VAT per opening. Tables outside may need a licence, so check with the local authority covering West Yorkshire before planning around a fully open frontage. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of West Yorkshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Yorkshire, including Batley, Bingley, Bradford, Brighouse.

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.

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.
