Aluminium shopfronts in Gloucestershire
From Cheltenham to Stroud, we deliver aluminium shopfronts for independent owners and multi-site operators across Gloucestershire, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
An aluminium shopfront is the glazed frame, doors and stallriser that make up the front of a shop, made to measure in powder-coated aluminium with toughened or laminated safety glass.
Working in Gloucestershire
Most enquiries we get from Gloucestershire come from convenience stores and off-licences or showrooms and trade counters, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
What approvals might you need in Gloucestershire?
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
Questions about aluminium shopfronts in Gloucestershire

Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Gloucestershire?
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront?
Usually yes, because it changes the look of the building. Like-for-like repairs often don't. We check with the council for you.
How long does a shopfront take to make?
Manufacture is typically three to five weeks after the survey and drawings are approved. Fitting is usually one or two days.
