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

An older frontage in Lancaster may have discontinued sections or fittings, so we look for a compatible part before suggesting that anything needs replacing. Repairs in Lancaster can be arranged out of hours, overnight or at a weekend, so shops anywhere in Lancashire can keep trading while the work is done.
Work in Lancaster is run from Birmingham, roughly 110 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Lancaster work takes in LA1, LA3, LA4. Neighbouring Morecambe and Fleetwood are covered too.

What does it cost in Lancaster?
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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Lancaster. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
Can you board up a shop in Lancaster out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Lancaster. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
