Shop door repairs in Reading

Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a Reading shop or any other premises in Berkshire can keep customers coming through.

Aluminium glazed entrance with arched door

Send a short video of your Reading door opening and closing, because seeing it move often tells us more than a still photo can. After a forced entry in Reading or elsewhere in Berkshire, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket.

Work in Reading is run from Birmingham, roughly 85 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in RG1, RG4, RG6 are planned alongside Wokingham and Bracknell.

Which faults do we deal with in Reading?

Dropped or sagging doorWorn hinges, pivots or floor springs let the door sink. We reset the door or replace the worn part so that it clears the floor again.
Bent door after forced entryAluminium stiles and frames can twist under a jemmy. We straighten what we can and replace sections that have torn.
Broken handles and push platesLoose or snapped door furniture is refixed or replaced, with care taken around glass doors.

What does it cost in Reading?

Repairing a shop door costs £125 to £595 ex VAT per door, with glass, locks and floor springs priced on their own if they also need work. Photos and a short video of the door moving often let us price it remotely. If they do not, a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, finds the cause, and we give you that cost first.

If your Reading shop door catches the floor or only locks when pushed, the cause is usually a worn pivot, hinge or closer, rather than a failed door. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.

Common questions

Do you cover Reading?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Reading and across Berkshire, including RG1, RG4, RG6. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

Can a shop door be repaired after a break-in?

Often yes, if the leaf and frame are still straight. Bent aluminium sections and torn lock pockets may need replacing. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, although whether a claim is paid is always their decision.

When is it worth replacing the door instead?

Replacement makes sense when the frame is twisted, the leaf is corroded or rotten, or the same repair keeps coming back. We will tell you if a repair is unlikely to last. A new entrance door set is then priced as a separate job.

Can you board up a shop in Reading out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Reading. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
