Aluminium shopfronts contractors in Greater Manchester
From Bolton to Stockport, we deliver aluminium shopfronts for independent owners and multi-site operators across Greater Manchester, 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 Greater Manchester
In Greater Manchester we mostly see high street units and corner shops and convenience stores and off-licences. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
What does the work include?
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
What approvals might you need in Greater Manchester?
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.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
