Timber shop fronts Northern Ireland

Owners in Northern Ireland should budget for repainting, and we explain the upkeep a timber front needs before you choose it over aluminium. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Northern Ireland premises and do not offer a stock pattern.

What do we offer in Northern Ireland?

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

Slim double-glazed unitsSlim sealed units can sit in moulded glazing bars where heat loss or street noise matters.

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

How much does it cost in Northern Ireland?

As a guide, allow £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. If your Northern Ireland unit sits in a conservation area, we can prepare drawings for the application, and the council makes the final decision. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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 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.

Do the same rules apply in Northern Ireland?

Rules differ in Northern Ireland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
