Shopfront refurbishment and refits in Kent

Check your lease before refurbishing a Kent unit, as many landlords must agree changes to the frontage before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Kent?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.

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.

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.
