Traditional and heritage shop fronts Cornwall

Period buildings in the South West often have uneven openings, so each section of your Cornwall shopfront is made to measured sizes. Check the listing status of your Cornwall building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage.

What do we offer in Cornwall?

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

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

Period reconstructionA lost frontage is rebuilt from old photographs, surviving fragments and the evidence in neighbouring buildings.

How much does it cost in Cornwall?

The guide price is £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Heritage joinery takes longer, so owners in Cornwall and across the South West should plan around consent and making time before any lease deadline. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cornwall?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cornwall, including Bodmin, Falmouth, Newquay, Penzance.

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.

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.
