Common questions
Do you cover all of County Durham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.
Can I refurbish a shopfront while still trading?
Yes, on most jobs. We phase the work so the door stays usable, or do the noisy and messy parts out of hours, overnight or at weekends. Some stages, such as spraying, need a clear area, and we agree those dates with you.
Can you change the colour of my existing aluminium frames?
Yes. Existing powder-coated frames can be cleaned, prepared and resprayed in place in a RAL colour of your choice. Surface preparation decides how long the new finish lasts. Badly corroded sections may need to come out for stripping and recoating.
Does a shopfront refurbishment need planning permission?
Often not for like-for-like work in England, but a change that materially alters the frontage usually does. New illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, and listed buildings need listed building consent for many changes. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so check before work begins.
