Shopfront repairs in Chatham

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

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

Chatham is around 131 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Jobs in ME1, ME2, ME4 are planned alongside Medway and Gillingham.

Which faults do we deal with in Chatham?

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.
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.

What does it cost in Chatham?

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 Chatham frontage cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit finds the cause, and you hear that cost beforehand. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Chatham shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you cover Chatham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Chatham and across Kent, including ME1, ME2, ME4. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

Can you provide paperwork for an insurance claim?

Yes, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer. Whether a claim is paid is the insurer's decision, and we cannot promise an outcome. Speak to them before work starts if they need to approve the repair or send an assessor.

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 Chatham 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.
