British Shopfronts supports retail and commercial shopfront enquiries in London, including new frontages, replacement entrances, glazing and shutter-related work. The right specification depends on the opening, use of the premises, access and survey findings.
Service overview
Use this page as the main shopfront hub. It links to aluminium, toughened glass, frameless glass, installation and repair services so the correct route can be chosen before quotation.
Options and specification
- Aluminium framed shopfronts for practical commercial entrances.
- Toughened glass options where clear display visibility is required.
- Frameless glass options where a cleaner premium appearance is suitable.
- Entrance doors, thresholds, locks and shutter integration where appropriate.
Process
- Send photographs, postcode and approximate dimensions.
- Confirm whether the enquiry is new installation, replacement, repair or refurbishment.
- Arrange survey where suitable so access, measurements and specification can be checked.
- Receive a written quotation confirming inclusions, exclusions and next steps.
Quote and cost factors
Shopfront cost depends on dimensions, material, glazing, doors, finish, removal, access, shutter integration and installation requirements. Final pricing should be confirmed in the quotation after survey or specification review.
Repair or replacement guidance
Existing shopfronts can sometimes be repaired or adjusted, but replacement may be recommended depending on condition, safety and the level of damage.

FAQs
What information should I send for a shopfront quote?
Send photos of the opening, the postcode, approximate dimensions, preferred material, door requirements and whether the work is repair, replacement or new installation. A survey may still be needed.
Do I need a site survey?
A survey is often useful for made-to-measure work because access, structural conditions, measurements and specification can affect the final quotation.
Can a shopfront be fitted to an existing opening?
In many cases a new or replacement shopfront can be planned around an existing opening, subject to survey and suitability of the surrounding structure.
Can you include shutters with a shopfront?
Roller shutters can be discussed where security, privacy or closure is required. The best shutter type depends on the premises and specification.
Which areas do you cover?
British Shopfronts handles London enquiries and selected UK projects where survey, delivery and installation arrangements are suitable.

Shopfront planning FAQs
What information helps with a quotation?
Clear photos, approximate measurements, the property location, access details and a short description of the required work help British Shopfronts advise the next step. Final details are confirmed in the quotation.
Is a site survey needed?
A survey or measurement review is usually needed before final specification, materials and price are confirmed.
Can repair and replacement be discussed together?
Yes. Repair, refurbishment and replacement options can be reviewed together, and repair or replacement may be recommended depending on condition.
Can shopfronts, doors and shutters be planned together?
Where suitable, entrance doors, glazing and roller shutters can be considered as part of the same opening so the quotation reflects the full requirement.
