Whether a shopfront should be repaired or replaced depends on the condition of the frame, glazing, doors, security requirements and the intended use of the premises.

When repair may help

Repair or refurbishment may be suitable for isolated glazing, door, frame or shutter issues where the surrounding structure remains usable.

When replacement may be better

Replacement may be recommended if the frontage is badly damaged, no longer suits the business, or cannot support the required doors, glazing or security specification.

Survey-led decision

Photos and a site review help confirm whether repair, partial refurbishment or full replacement should be quoted.
