Traditional and heritage shop fronts Northern Ireland

Check the listing status of your Northern Ireland building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage. Period buildings in the area often have uneven openings, so each section of your Northern Ireland shopfront is made to measured sizes.

What do we offer in Northern Ireland?

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

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

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

How much does it cost in Northern Ireland?

The guide price is £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Heritage joinery takes longer, so owners in Northern Ireland and across the area should plan around consent and making time before any lease deadline. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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.

How do you match old mouldings?

We take a profile from the surviving timber and have a matching section made. Where nothing survives, we look at old photographs and neighbouring frontages of the same period. The drawings show each profile, so the conservation officer can comment before anything is cut.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Northern Ireland?

Rules differ in Northern Ireland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
