Timber shop fronts Hertfordshire

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

What do we offer in Hertfordshire?

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

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.

How much does it cost in Hertfordshire?

Expect £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Owners in Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Hertfordshire, including Bishop's Stortford, Hatfield, Hemel Hempstead, Hertford.

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.
