Traditional and heritage shop fronts Devon

Heritage joinery takes longer, so owners in Devon and across the South West should plan around consent and making time before any lease deadline. Check the listing status of your Devon building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage.

What do we offer in Devon?

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 Devon?

The guide price is £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. We can prepare drawings for heritage work in Devon, and we agree the details with you before the local planning authority receives anything. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Devon?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot.

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.

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.
