Aluminium shopfronts contractors in Greater London
Our aluminium shopfronts team works across Greater London and the wider London, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Bromley, Harrow, Enfield.
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.
What is shopfitting like in Greater London?
In Greater London we mostly see high street units and corner shops and shopping centre units and retail park stores. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
London shopfitting is dominated by tight access, loading restrictions and landlord fit-out rules in shopping centres and parades, so night deliveries and careful logistics planning are part of almost every job.
What does the work include?
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
Planning and building control in Greater London
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.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
