Shopfronts, shutters and doors in Coventry
Coventry was largely rebuilt after the Second World War, so much of its centre is flat-fronted and modern, while Earlsdon, Foleshill and Radford keep the older character of neighbourhood shopping. We make shopfronts, roller shutters and entrance doors for Coventry businesses and install them too.
Below is what we offer, how a Coventry job runs and the CV postcode districts we cover.
Coventry: local shopping streets and premises
Earlsdon Street has a village-like parade of independents, while Foleshill Road and Radford Road are busy everyday shopping streets. The city centre has larger units around the precinct areas, with newer glazing.
Many Coventry shops trade into the evening, which makes a lit window and a shutter that lets light through worth considering.
Coventry shops often face two practical problems. Flat-roofed postwar units can have limited space above the door for a shutter box, and older terraced units may have openings that are not square. Our survey checks both, so the shutter, door and frame are ordered to fit the real opening instead of a drawing, so the parts fit the real opening.
Evening trade matters on Foleshill Road and around the Hillfields end of the centre. That is where see-through shutters earn their keep: the window stays lit, customers can see the stock on the way home, and the street feels better looked after.
How a Coventry job works
Start a Coventry quotation by sending photographs and rough sizes. Where necessary we survey, then write to you with a free quotation. When you agree, we produce the order at Barking and either install it or hand it to your contractor.
See-through shutters keep the street feeling safe and let the display work after closing. Solid shutters suit stock rooms and side entrances. Aluminium frames are the easiest to keep looking good.
Glass shopfronts in Coventry
A glass front lets a Coventry shop or takeaway show its offer to anyone walking by. Slim frames around large panes keep the unit bright and open.
We prepare the glazed frontage to your opening dimensions and can handle the fitting. The glass system is priced from £999.
Glass shopfrontsAluminium shopfronts and commercial glazing in Coventry
Aluminium suits Coventry's postwar commercial buildings, with straight lines and frames that need little upkeep. Choose any RAL colour to match your brand and fascia.
Convenience stores, salons and offices use it widely, and landlords like the uniform finish.
Aluminium shopfrontsTimber shopfronts in Coventry
Coventry still has older shopping streets where wood looks right, for example around Earlsdon. Our timber shopfronts follow traditional proportions and suit boutiques, delis and cafés.
The cost depends on design, size and door, so the written quotation sets it after a survey.
Timber shopfrontsRoller shutters and security shutters in Coventry
Roller shutters guard many units in Foleshill and Hillfields overnight. Solid is the strongest type, while perforated and grille shutters let the window glow after closing.
Extra security comes from a side bullet lock or floor lock, with the finish in any RAL colour. Shutters are priced from £450, supply only.
Roller shuttersShop front doors in Coventry
Single, double, automatic and sliding doors can be ordered for Coventry shops. A double leaf suits deliveries, and automatic doors give step-free access.
Door width is checked against the opening during the survey. A single door begins at £650 and a double at £1,050, both excluding VAT and subject to survey.

Coventry questions
Who regulates shopfront changes in Coventry?
Coventry City Council's planning service. Whether you need consent depends on the extent of the change and the building's status.
Can I get shutters for a shop in Foleshill?
Yes. Foleshill falls within our Coventry coverage, and we can discuss the right shutter type during the quotation.
Do you supply automatic doors to Coventry businesses?
Yes, automatic doors are available, as are sliding doors in single or double format.
Do shutters come in different colours?
Yes, any RAL colour can be specified.
What happens after I request a quotation?
We ask about the opening, arrange a survey where necessary, and send a written quotation that sets out the scope and price.
