Powder coating and on-site respraying in Essex
If your building in Essex or the East of England is listed, or in a conservation area, check with the council before changing the colour of the frontage.

On-site spraying in Essex or elsewhere in the East of England can be arranged out of hours, so the frontage can be masked and painted around trading. A faded or chalky frontage in Essex can often be refinished on site, which usually costs less than replacing sound frames.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Essex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.
Do I need permission to change my shopfront colour?
Sometimes. A listed building may need listed building consent, and a lease may restrict colours. A conservation area can bring extra planning controls, so ask your council. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the council makes the decision in each case.
Can a shopfront be powder coated on site?
No, true powder coating needs an oven, so it cannot be done on an installed frame. On-site work uses liquid paint sprayed in place. If you want powder coating, parts must be removed, which suits small sections and panels better than a whole fixed frontage.
Can I keep trading during a respray?
Usually yes. Work can be split into sections or arranged out of hours, overnight or at weekends. Some paints smell strongly and need time to cure, so we agree access, masking and the working area with you before starting.
