Shop door repairs Folkestone

After a forced entry in Folkestone or elsewhere in Kent, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket. If your Folkestone 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.

Work in Folkestone is run from Birmingham, roughly 166 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover CT19, CT20 and the surrounding streets, along with Dover, Ashford and Deal.

What can we sort out in Folkestone?

Rear and fire exit doorsSteel, timber and composite doors at the back of the shop get the same checks, and any fire rating is kept in place.

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 Folkestone?

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.

Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a Folkestone shop or any other premises in Kent can keep customers coming through. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Folkestone shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you cover Folkestone?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Folkestone and across Kent, including CT19, CT20. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

Can you repair the fire exit door at the back of my shop?

Yes, provided the repair keeps the door's fire performance. Closers, hinges and seals on FD30 and FD60 doors must suit the tested door. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep them in good repair.

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 Folkestone out of hours?

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