Shopfront refurbishment and refits Essex

New tenants in Essex 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 East of England, so the noisiest stages at your Essex shop can happen when you are closed.

What do we offer in Essex?

Stall riser renewalA damaged riser can be overclad or rebuilt in aluminium, composite, tile or painted timber.

Access upgradeA refit is a good moment for a wider door leaf, a lower threshold and easier handles.

New door and hardwareReplacing a worn door, floor spring, closer and lock gets a tired entrance working properly again.

How much does it cost in Essex?

As a guide, allow £1,495 to £6,995 ex VAT depending on what is kept. Check your lease before refurbishing an Essex unit, as many landlords must agree changes to the frontage before work starts. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

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 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.

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.
