Aluminium shopfronts in Wiltshire
We carry out aluminium shopfronts throughout Wiltshire, from Salisbury to Chippenham. Every job starts with a measured survey and ends with a certified, trading-ready 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.
Local projects in Wiltshire
Most enquiries we get from Wiltshire come from pharmacies and healthcare premises or salons, barbers and beauty clinics, 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?
- 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 Wiltshire
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.
Questions about aluminium shopfronts in Wiltshire
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Wiltshire?
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.
Do you cover Salisbury and the rest of Wiltshire?
Yes. We carry out aluminium shopfronts in Salisbury, Chippenham and across Wiltshire. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
