Timber shop fronts Greater London

We look at your existing Greater London joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in London can often be repaired and kept. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Greater London premises and do not offer a stock pattern.

What do we offer in Greater London?

Painted finishA microporous paint system lets the timber breathe and can be recoated in a new colour when the brand changes.

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 Greater London?

The guide price is £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Greater London unit is relet or a business in London rebrands. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater London?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.

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.
