Timber shop fronts Cheshire

A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Cheshire unit is relet or a business in the North West rebrands. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Cheshire premises and do not offer a stock pattern.

What do we offer in Cheshire?

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

Stained or oiled finishThis shows the grain on hardwood fronts. Oiled finishes need more frequent upkeep on sunny or exposed elevations.

Engineered timberLaminated sections resist twisting better than solid boards, which helps on long transoms and large door frames.

How much does it cost in Cheshire?

Expect £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Owners in Cheshire should budget for repainting, and we explain the upkeep a timber front needs before you choose it over aluminium. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cheshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cheshire, including Chester, Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port.

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.

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 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.
