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

On-site spraying in Tyne and Wear or elsewhere in the North East can be arranged out of hours, so the frontage can be masked and painted around trading. Clear photos of your Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.
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.
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.
