Traditional and heritage shop fronts Buckinghamshire

Local archives across the South East may hold old photographs of your Buckinghamshire premises, and these can guide an accurate rebuild of a lost frontage. Heritage joinery takes longer, so owners in Buckinghamshire and across the South East should plan around consent and making time before any lease deadline.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Buckinghamshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Buckinghamshire, including Amersham, Aylesbury, Buckingham, Chesham.

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.

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.

How do you match old mouldings?

We take a profile from the surviving timber and have a matching section made. Where nothing survives, we look at old photographs and neighbouring frontages of the same period. The drawings show each profile, so the conservation officer can comment before anything is cut.
