Traditional and heritage shop fronts Shropshire

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

What do we offer in Shropshire?

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.

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 Shropshire?

Expect £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Period buildings in the West Midlands often have uneven openings, so each section of your Shropshire shopfront is made to measured sizes. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Shropshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Shropshire, including Bridgnorth, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Telford.

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 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.

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.
