Steel shop fronts in Gloucestershire

Steel's industrial look can divide opinion, so ask early how the local planning authority for Gloucestershire is likely to view the design.

Slim black steel-framed cafe shopfront

If your Gloucestershire premises sit near the coast or in a damp spot in the South West, we specify the coating or stainless grade to suit. A steel frontage needs a sound opening, so we check the lintel and fixing points on your Gloucestershire premises before any design work starts.

What do we offer in Gloucestershire?

Galvanised and powder coatedHot-dip galvanising to BS EN ISO 1461 followed by powder coat gives good protection on external frames.
Slim steel framingNarrow bars form a grid of panes, giving the dark-framed look often seen in warehouse conversions.
Stainless steel framesStainless sections suit food premises and coastal sites, with grade 316 the usual choice near the sea.

How much does it cost in Gloucestershire?

Budget £5,495 to £13,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Heavy frames need planning for delivery and lifting, so we look at road access, parking and pavement width outside your Gloucestershire shop. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Gloucestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester, Stroud.

Do I need planning permission for a steel shop front?

Usually yes in England, if it materially changes the look of the building. Industrial styling can be contentious on traditional streets, so raise it early. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and our drawings can support an application for the council to decide.

Is a steel shop front better for security?

It can be, but only if the whole assembly is designed for it. Frame, glass, hinges and locks all have to work together. Tested products to PAS 24 or LPS 1175 show how a doorset performs, while a steel frame with ordinary glass adds very little.

Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shop front?

Yes, steel is much stiffer and stronger for the same section size. That allows slimmer bars over a given span, or taller glazing. The trade-off is weight: steel frames need stronger fixings, a solid opening and more people to lift them into place.
