Timber shop fronts Leicestershire

A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Leicestershire unit is relet or a business in the East Midlands rebrands. Owners in Leicestershire should budget for repainting, and we explain the upkeep a timber front needs before you choose it over aluminium.

What do we offer in Leicestershire?

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.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Leicestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.

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.

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.
