Traditional and heritage shop fronts Cheshire

Period buildings in the North West often have uneven openings, so each section of your Cheshire shopfront is made to measured sizes. We can prepare drawings for heritage work in Cheshire, and we agree the details with you before the local planning authority receives anything.

What do we offer in Cheshire?

Traditional stall risersPanelled timber, glazed tile or stone can be matched to the age of the building.

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

Slim or secondary glazingWhere heat loss is an issue, slim sealed units or internal secondary glazing may be possible, subject to consent.

How much does it cost in Cheshire?

Expect £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Surviving brackets and cornices on Cheshire premises are worth keeping, so we record them at survey before any removal is discussed. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cheshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cheshire, including Chester, Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port.

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.

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.
