Powder coating and on-site respraying in Kent
New tenants taking on a Kent unit can change the frame colour to suit their brand, provided the lease and any consents allow it.

On-site spraying in Kent or elsewhere in the South East can be arranged out of hours, so the frontage can be masked and painted around trading. Clear photos of your Kent frames usually let us price a respray, although poor adhesion or corrosion may need a charged diagnostic visit.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Kent?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.
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 you respray anodised aluminium?
Yes, with the right preparation. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and keyed, then primed with a product suited to anodised metal. Once painted, the frame loses its metallic look and will need repainting in future, so consider that before going ahead.
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.
