Shopfront repairs in Islington

An older frontage in Islington may have discontinued sections or fittings, so we look for a compatible part before suggesting that anything needs replacing.

If part of your Islington shopfront has stopped working, send us photos first and we will tell you whether it can be priced without a visit. Landlords with units in Islington and across Greater London can use one contractor for frames, glass, doors, locks and signs rather than booking separate trades.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 103 miles away, and send fitting teams across London. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Islington work takes in EC1, EC1R, EC1V. Neighbouring Hackney and London are covered too.

What do we fix in Islington?

Doors that stick or dropWorn pivots, hinges or floor springs let a door drop and catch the frame. We find the cause rather than forcing or planing the door.
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.

What does it cost in Islington?

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 Islington can be arranged out of hours, overnight or at a weekend, so shops anywhere in Greater London can keep trading while the work is done. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Islington job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in EC1, EC1R, EC1V?

Yes. Islington and the EC1, EC1R, EC1V postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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 Islington 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.
