Timber shop fronts in Norfolk
If your Norfolk unit sits in a conservation area, we can prepare drawings for the application, and the council makes the final decision.
We look at your existing Norfolk joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the East of England can often be repaired and kept. Exposure varies from street to street in the East of England, so we choose the timber and paint system for your Norfolk frontage after seeing it.
What do we offer in Norfolk?
How much does it cost in Norfolk?
As a guide, allow £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 Norfolk unit is relet or a business in the East of England rebrands. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Norfolk?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Norfolk, including Dereham, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Norwich.
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.
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.
