Stall riser repairs County Durham

Trolleys and bins often catch the base of a frontage, so premises in County Durham and across the North East may want a tougher facing at low level. A timber stall riser on a period frontage in County Durham or elsewhere in the North East may need like-for-like joinery, especially if the building is listed.

What do we fix in County Durham?

Cracked or missing tilesDamaged tiles are lifted and replaced with the closest match, then bedded and grouted with exterior materials.

Blown renderHollow render is cut back to sound material, patched and painted, or the whole riser is re-rendered.

Rotten timber panelsSoft timber is cut out and new joinery is spliced in, keeping the original mouldings where we can.

How much does it cost in County Durham?

Budget £295 to £1,295 ex VAT per frontage. Cracked tiles or blown render below your County Durham shop window let water in at the base of the frontage, so they are worth repairing early. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of County Durham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.

Why is the base of my shopfront always damp?

Damp at pavement level usually comes from splash, a failed seal under the frame, a raised pavement or missing damp protection. Paint or tile over the top will not solve it. We look for the water route before recommending a finish.

Can you match old shop tiles?

Sometimes. New tiles in a similar colour and size are often available, but handmade or period tiles may be discontinued. Spare tiles from a hidden area can sometimes be reused. We show you what is available before any tiles are removed.

Do stall riser repairs need planning permission?

Usually not, if the repair is like for like in England. Changing the material or removing the riser can materially alter the frontage and may need it. A listed building may need listed building consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
