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

Common questions
Do you cover all of West Midlands?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Midlands, including Aldridge, Bilston, Birmingham, Bloxwich.
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 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.
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.
