Timber shop fronts in Northumberland
A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Northumberland unit is relet or a business in the North East rebrands.

We look at your existing Northumberland joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the North East can often be repaired and kept. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Northumberland premises and do not offer a stock pattern.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Northumberland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.
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.
