Traditional and heritage shop fronts Hertfordshire

Heritage joinery takes longer, so owners in Hertfordshire and across the East of England should plan around consent and making time before any lease deadline. Local archives across the East of England may hold old photographs of your Hertfordshire premises, and these can guide an accurate rebuild of a lost frontage.

What do we offer in Hertfordshire?

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

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

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

How much does it cost in Hertfordshire?

Expect £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Check the listing status of your Hertfordshire building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Hertfordshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Hertfordshire, including Bishop's Stortford, Hatfield, Hemel Hempstead, Hertford.

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.

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.

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.
