Shopfront repairs Hitchin

Landlords with units in Hitchin and across Hertfordshire can use one contractor for frames, glass, doors, locks and signs rather than booking separate trades. An older frontage in Hitchin may have discontinued sections or fittings, so we look for a compatible part before suggesting that anything needs replacing.

Work in Hitchin is run from Birmingham, roughly 80 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover SG6 and the surrounding streets, along with Letchworth, Stevenage and Luton.

What do we fix in Hitchin?

Frame and trim damageDented sections, loose cover caps and impact damage from vehicles or trolleys are repaired or replaced length by length.

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.

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 Hitchin?

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.

Before booking a repair to a rented unit in Hitchin or elsewhere in Hertfordshire, check your lease, since it may make the landlord responsible for the frontage. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Hitchin site clean.

Common questions

Do you cover Hitchin?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Hitchin and across Hertfordshire, including SG6. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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.

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

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