Shopfront refurbishment and refits in Dorset
Landlords preparing units in the South West to let can refresh the door, fascia and paint on a Dorset frontage without a full replacement.
New tenants in Dorset can inherit a tired frontage, so we start with what can stay and price only the work it needs. Overnight and weekend working is available across the South West, so the noisiest stages at your Dorset shop can happen when you are closed.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
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.
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.
Who pays for a shopfront refit, landlord or tenant?
That depends on your lease. Many leases make the tenant responsible for the frontage, while others leave it with the landlord or require the landlord's consent to alterations. Read the repair and alterations clauses, or ask your solicitor, before booking the work.
