Traditional and heritage shop fronts in Scotland
Surviving brackets and cornices on Scotland premises are worth keeping, so we record them at survey before any removal is discussed.
Period buildings in the area often have uneven openings, so each section of your Scotland shopfront is made to measured sizes. Check the listing status of your Scotland building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Scotland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Scotland, including Aberdeen, Airdrie, Ayr, Bearsden. Remote areas are by arrangement.
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.
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.
Do the same rules apply in Scotland?
Rules differ in Scotland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
