Traditional and heritage shop fronts Gloucestershire

Local archives across the South West may hold old photographs of your Gloucestershire premises, and these can guide an accurate rebuild of a lost frontage. Surviving brackets and cornices on Gloucestershire premises are worth keeping, so we record them at survey before any removal is discussed.

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

Common questions

Do you cover all of Gloucestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester, Stroud.

Can a heritage shopfront meet access rules?

Usually, with care. The Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments in England, Scotland and Wales, and Northern Ireland uses the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Options include a portable ramp, a wider door leaf or a gently sloped lobby, and the conservation officer should be involved early.

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.
