Timber shop fronts Bristol and Avon

Owners in Bristol and Avon should budget for repainting, and we explain the upkeep a timber front needs before you choose it over aluminium. Exposure varies from street to street in the South West, so we choose the timber and paint system for your Bristol and Avon frontage after seeing it.

What do we offer in Bristol and Avon?

Panelled stall riserA timber panelled riser protects the base of the glass. A capped top and a plinth that keeps end grain off the ground help it last.

Hardwood framesDurable species such as sapele or oak suit sills, stiles and other parts that take weather and wear.

Slim double-glazed unitsSlim sealed units can sit in moulded glazing bars where heat loss or street noise matters.

How much does it cost in Bristol and Avon?

Budget £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Bristol and Avon premises and do not offer a stock pattern. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Bristol and Avon?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bristol and Avon, including Bristol.

Is a timber shop front secure?

It can be, when the door is well built and the locks suit the use. A BS 3621 mortice deadlock is common on timber shop doors, and laminated glass adds resistance. Your insurer may set conditions, so check the policy before we specify hardware.

Can you repair my timber shopfront instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. Rotten sills, rails and glazing bars can usually be cut out and spliced. Repair work starts with a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, and we tell you the cost before we come out, then advise whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Is timber allowed in a conservation area?

Yes, and it is often what the planning authority prefers. A material change to the frontage can still need planning permission in England, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We can prepare the drawings for your application, and the council makes the decision.
