Traditional and heritage shop fronts Bristol and Avon

We can prepare drawings for heritage work in Bristol and Avon, and we agree the details with you before the local planning authority receives anything. Check the listing status of your Bristol and Avon building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage.

What do we offer in Bristol and Avon?

Hand-painted fasciaSign-written or gilded lettering on a painted fascia keeps the frontage in period, and it is often preferred in sensitive locations.

Like-for-like restorationOriginal pilasters, consoles and cornices are repaired and kept, with new timber spliced in only where decay has gone too far.

Matched mouldingsProfiles are copied from existing sections, so new work sits correctly beside the old.

How much does it cost in Bristol and Avon?

As a guide, allow £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Period buildings in the South West often have uneven openings, so each section of your Bristol and Avon shopfront is made to measured sizes. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Bristol and Avon?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bristol and Avon, including Bristol.

Do I need listed building consent for a new shopfront?

Yes, if the building is listed and the work affects its special character. Doing that work without consent is a criminal offence. Planning permission may also be needed. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland run their own systems, so we confirm the route for your building.

How long does a heritage shopfront take?

Allow longer than for a standard front: a typical 8 to 14 weeks of making after consent, plus the time the council takes to decide. Delays usually come from missing information, so we prepare the drawings and details carefully before you submit.

My shop is in a conservation area. What changes?

Expect closer scrutiny of materials, detail and signs. The council will usually look for a design that preserves or improves the character of the area, and some areas have extra controls on small changes. We can prepare drawings, though the decision stays with the council.
