Shopfront repairs in Harlow
Before booking a repair to a rented unit in Harlow or elsewhere in Essex, check your lease, since it may make the landlord responsible for the frontage.

Landlords with units in Harlow and across Essex can use one contractor for frames, glass, doors, locks and signs rather than booking separate trades. Where a fault on your Harlow 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 101 miles away, and send fitting teams across the East of England. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in CM17, CM18, CM19 are planned alongside Bishop's Stortford and Hertford.

What does it cost in Harlow?
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.
Repairs in Harlow can be arranged out of hours, overnight or at a weekend, so shops anywhere in Essex can keep trading while the work is done. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Can you come out to Harlow for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Harlow. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
Can my shopfront be repaired or does it need replacing?
Many faults can be repaired without replacing the frontage, provided the frame is sound. If corrosion, rot or repeated damage means a repair would not last, we will say so. A refurbishment or a new shopfront is then priced as a separate job.
Do shopfront repairs need planning permission?
Like-for-like repairs usually do not need planning permission in England. A change that materially alters the appearance may need it, and a listed building may need listed building consent. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so check with your council before changing the look.
What do I do if my shop in Harlow is broken into?
Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
