Shopfront repairs Canterbury

Before booking a repair to a rented unit in Canterbury or elsewhere in Kent, check your lease, since it may make the landlord responsible for the frontage. If part of your Canterbury shopfront has stopped working, send us photos first and we will tell you whether it can be priced without a visit.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 154 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Canterbury work takes in CT1, CT2, CT5. Neighbouring Herne Bay and Ashford are covered too.

What do we fix in Canterbury?

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

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.

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 Canterbury?

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 Canterbury 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 Canterbury job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Can you come out to Canterbury for a survey?

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

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 Canterbury 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.
