Timber shop fronts Scotland

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

What do we offer in Scotland?

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

Hardwood framesDurable species such as sapele or oak suit sills, stiles and other parts that take weather and wear.

Stained or oiled finishThis shows the grain on hardwood fronts. Oiled finishes need more frequent upkeep on sunny or exposed elevations.

How much does it cost in Scotland?

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 Scotland unit is relet or a business in the area rebrands. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Scotland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Scotland, including Aberdeen, Airdrie, Ayr, Bearsden. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Scotland?

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