Traditional and heritage shop fronts Greater London

We can prepare drawings for heritage work in Greater London, and we agree the details with you before the local planning authority receives anything. Check the listing status of your Greater London building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage.

What do we offer in Greater London?

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

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

Hand-painted fasciaSign-written or gilded lettering on a painted fascia keeps the frontage in period, and it is often preferred in sensitive locations.

How much does it cost in Greater London?

As a guide, allow £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Period buildings in London often have uneven openings, so each section of your Greater London shopfront is made to measured sizes. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater London?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.

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.

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.
