Timber shop fronts in Merseyside
Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Merseyside premises and do not offer a stock pattern.
We look at your existing Merseyside joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the North West can often be repaired and kept. If your Merseyside unit sits in a conservation area, we can prepare drawings for the application, and the council makes the final decision.
What do we offer in Merseyside?
How much does it cost in Merseyside?
Budget £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 Merseyside unit is relet or a business in the North West rebrands. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Merseyside?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Merseyside, including Bebington, Birkenhead, Bootle, Huyton.
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.
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 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.
