Steel shop fronts Hampshire

If your Hampshire premises sit near the coast or in a damp spot in the South East, 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 Hampshire premises before any design work starts.

What do we offer in Hampshire?

Slim steel framingNarrow bars form a grid of panes, giving the dark-framed look often seen in warehouse conversions.

How much does it cost in Hampshire?

As a guide, allow £5,495 to £13,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. We treat every steel job in the South East as a one-off, so your Hampshire frontage is made to measured sizes and not stock lengths. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Hampshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Hampshire, including Aldershot, Andover, Basingstoke, Eastleigh.

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.

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.

Will a steel shop front rust?

Not if it is protected and looked after. External mild steel should be galvanised and powder coated, and any chips should be repaired before water reaches the metal. Near the sea, ask about grade 316 stainless, which copes better with salt, and rinse it down regularly.
