Steel shop fronts Worcestershire

Steel's industrial look can divide opinion, so ask early how the local planning authority for Worcestershire is likely to view the design. A steel frontage needs a sound opening, so we check the lintel and fixing points on your Worcestershire premises before any design work starts.

What do we offer in Worcestershire?

Stainless steel framesStainless sections suit food premises and coastal sites, with grade 316 the usual choice near the sea.

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

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 Worcestershire?

As a guide, allow £5,495 to £13,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. We treat every steel job in the West Midlands as a one-off, so your Worcestershire frontage is made to measured sizes and not stock lengths. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Worcestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Worcestershire, including Droitwich, Evesham, Kidderminster, Malvern.

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.

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.
