Timber shop fronts in West Sussex

Exposure varies from street to street in the South East, so we choose the timber and paint system for your West Sussex frontage after seeing it.

Painted timber shopfront in bottle green

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

What do we offer in West Sussex?

Slim double-glazed unitsSlim sealed units can sit in moulded glazing bars where heat loss or street noise matters.
Engineered timberLaminated sections resist twisting better than solid boards, which helps on long transoms and large door frames.
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 West Sussex?

Budget £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. If your West Sussex unit sits in a conservation area, we can prepare drawings for the application, and the council makes the final decision. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of West Sussex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Sussex, including Bognor Regis, Chichester, Crawley, Haywards Heath.

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.
