Timber shop fronts in Surrey
If your Surrey unit sits in a conservation area, we can prepare drawings for the application, and the council makes the final decision.
Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Surrey premises and do not offer a stock pattern. We look at your existing Surrey joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the South East can often be repaired and kept.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Surrey?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Surrey, including Camberley, Epsom, Farnham, Guildford.
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.
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.
