Shopfront repairs in London
Repairs in London 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.
Landlords with units in London and across Greater London can use one contractor for frames, glass, doors, locks and signs rather than booking separate trades. An older frontage in London may have discontinued sections or fittings, so we look for a compatible part before suggesting that anything needs replacing.
Work in London is run from Birmingham, roughly 104 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our London work takes in SW1A, SW1Y, WC2N. Neighbouring Islington and Brixton are covered too.

What does it cost in London?
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.
Where a fault on your London frontage cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit finds the cause, and you hear that cost beforehand. 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 London for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in London. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
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 London out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in London. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
