Timber shop fronts in Devon
A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Devon unit is relet or a business in the South West rebrands.
Exposure varies from street to street in the South West, so we choose the timber and paint system for your Devon frontage after seeing it. We look at your existing Devon joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the South West can often be repaired and kept.
What do we offer in Devon?
How much does it cost in Devon?
As a guide, allow £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 Devon premises and do not offer a stock pattern. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Devon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot.
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.
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.
