Steel shop fronts Lancashire

We treat every steel job in the North West as a one-off, so your Lancashire frontage is made to measured sizes and not stock lengths. Steel's industrial look can divide opinion, so ask early how the local planning authority for Lancashire is likely to view the design.

What do we offer in Lancashire?

Fire-rated steel screensTested steel screens with fire-rated glass can divide a shop from a shared escape route or adjoining unit.

Security-rated steelFrames and doors can be specified to PAS 24 or LPS 1175 for premises with a higher risk of attack.

Galvanised and powder coatedHot-dip galvanising to BS EN ISO 1461 followed by powder coat gives good protection on external frames.

How much does it cost in Lancashire?

As a guide, allow £5,495 to £13,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. If your Lancashire premises sit near the coast or in a damp spot in the North West, we specify the coating or stainless grade to suit. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Lancashire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Lancashire, including Accrington, Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley.

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.
