Traditional and heritage shop fronts Somerset

Surviving brackets and cornices on Somerset premises are worth keeping, so we record them at survey before any removal is discussed. Check the listing status of your Somerset building early, because listed building consent can be needed even for small changes to the frontage.

What do we offer in Somerset?

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

Like-for-like restorationOriginal pilasters, consoles and cornices are repaired and kept, with new timber spliced in only where decay has gone too far.

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

How much does it cost in Somerset?

As a guide, allow £5,995 to £14,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Local archives across the South West may hold old photographs of your Somerset premises, and these can guide an accurate rebuild of a lost frontage. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Somerset?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Somerset, including Bath, Bridgwater, Frome, Glastonbury.

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.

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.
