Traditional and heritage shop fronts Lancashire

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

What do we offer in Lancashire?

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

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.

How much does it cost in Lancashire?

The guide price is £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Check the listing status of your Lancashire building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Lancashire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Lancashire, including Accrington, Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley.

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.

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.
