Aluminium shopfronts in Oxford
We carry out aluminium shopfronts in Oxford and the surrounding parts of Oxfordshire, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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.
How do we plan the job?
The survey for aluminium shopfronts in Oxford covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Oxford we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
What should Oxford owners check first?
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
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.
Questions about aluminium shopfronts in Oxford
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.
Is the survey free in Oxford?
Yes. We survey units in Oxford and across Oxfordshire free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Oxford?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
