Shopfront refurbishment and refits in Greater Manchester
Check your lease before refurbishing a Greater Manchester unit, as many landlords must agree changes to the frontage before work starts.

Landlords preparing units in the North West to let can refresh the door, fascia and paint on a Greater Manchester frontage without a full replacement. Overnight and weekend working is available across the North West, so the noisiest stages at your Greater Manchester shop can happen when you are closed.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.
Is it cheaper to refurbish or replace a shopfront?
Refurbishing is usually cheaper if the frame and structure are sound, because less has to be stripped out and remade. If the frame is corroded, rotten or out of square, the saving disappears. We assess the frontage at survey and tell you which route makes more sense.
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.
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.
