Timber shop fronts in Wales

Exposure varies from street to street in the area, so we choose the timber and paint system for your Wales frontage after seeing it.

Painted timber shopfront in bottle green

A painted timber front can change colour with your brand, which helps when a Wales unit is relet or a business in the area rebrands. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your Wales premises and do not offer a stock pattern.

What do we offer in Wales?

Hardwood framesDurable species such as sapele or oak suit sills, stiles and other parts that take weather and wear.
Panelled stall riserA timber panelled riser protects the base of the glass. A capped top and a plinth that keeps end grain off the ground help it last.
Painted finishA microporous paint system lets the timber breathe and can be recoated in a new colour when the brand changes.

How much does it cost in Wales?

As a guide, allow £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. We look at your existing Wales joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the area can often be repaired and kept. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Wales?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Wales, including Aberdare, Aberystwyth, Bangor, Barry. 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.

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.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Wales?

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