Timber shop fronts in Cambridgeshire

A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Cambridgeshire unit is relet or a business in the East of England rebrands.

Painted timber shopfront in bottle green

We look at your existing Cambridgeshire joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the East of England can often be repaired and kept. Exposure varies from street to street in the East of England, so we choose the timber and paint system for your Cambridgeshire frontage after seeing it.

What do we offer in Cambridgeshire?

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.
Painted finishA microporous paint system lets the timber breathe and can be recoated in a new colour when the brand changes.
Engineered timberLaminated sections resist twisting better than solid boards, which helps on long transoms and large door frames.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cambridgeshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Ely, March, Peterborough.

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.

How often does a timber shop front need painting?

Plan for repainting every few years, depending on exposure and the paint system. South-facing and coastal fronts need attention sooner. Check the sills and bottom rails each year, and touch up any chips before water gets into the joints.

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.
