Shopfront repairs Dorchester

Landlords with units in Dorchester and across Dorset can use one contractor for frames, glass, doors, locks and signs rather than booking separate trades. Where a fault on your Dorchester frontage cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit finds the cause, and you hear that cost beforehand.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 128 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in DT1 are planned alongside Weymouth and Yeovil.

Which faults do we deal with in Dorchester?

Shutter and sign faultsOne contractor can look at the whole frontage, so a stuck shutter and a dead sign do not need two separate call-outs.

Locks and keysSeized cylinders, worn hookbolts and lost keys are dealt with so the door locks properly at closing time.

Leaks and draughtsFailed silicone, perished gaskets and blocked drainage paths let in water and cold air. We trace the route before resealing.

What does it cost in Dorchester?

A shopfront repair usually costs £125 to £995 ex VAT for most single repairs. Send photos first, because many jobs can be priced from them. Where a fault cannot be priced that way, we book a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, and you hear that cost before we come out. Parts, access and out-of-hours work can move the figure, so we confirm the repair price before starting.

An older frontage in Dorchester may have discontinued sections or fittings, so we look for a compatible part before suggesting that anything needs replacing. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Dorchester job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Can you come out to Dorchester for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Dorchester. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?

Yes, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer. Whether a claim is paid is the insurer's decision, and we cannot promise an outcome. Speak to them before work starts if they need to approve the repair or send an assessor.

Are shopfront repairs guaranteed?

Yes, our workmanship carries a 10-year guarantee. Replacement products such as motors, closers and glass units are covered by the manufacturer's warranty instead. We will tell you which cover applies to your repair when we confirm the price.

Can you board up a shop in Dorchester out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Dorchester. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
