Shopfronts, shutters and doors in Leicester

Leicester: local shopping streets and premises

Terraced Leicester streets often finish with a corner unit, which means two elevations and sometimes a splayed door. We measure both sides and quote them as a set so frame, glass and door line up.

Belgrave Road and the Golden Mile attract visitors in the evening, so lighting and visibility after dark count as much as security.

Late opening is normal on Belgrave Road and in parts of Highfields, so a shutter has to do two jobs: protect the unit and leave the street feeling lively. Perforated and grille shutters let passers-by see the window and the stock, while a solid shutter suits side doors and storage areas.

If you are fitting out a new unit, think about the sequence of work. Frame and glass go first, then the door, and the shutter box last. We can supply all three as a package so the parts match.

How a Leicester job works

Leicester work starts when you send photographs and approximate sizes. A survey follows if the opening is awkward, and then you get a free written quotation. Once approved, production happens at the Barking workshop, and we fit it or you collect a delivery for your own contractor.

A jeweller or restaurant benefits from a lit window behind perforated shutters. A grocer storing stock might choose solid. Where customers carry heavy bags, a sliding or automatic door beats a heavy swing leaf.

Glass shopfronts in Leicester

Glass frontages work well on Leicester's busier roads, where shoppers judge a unit from the pavement. A clear glazed front lets displays and lighting do the selling.

We supply full glazed fronts ready to fit, and fit them if required. Expect to pay from £999 for the aluminium and glass shopfront system.

Aluminium shopfronts and commercial glazing in Leicester

Aluminium frames suit Leicester's mix of terrace-end shops and newer units. Colours follow the RAL range, so your frontage can match what is above the door.

Slim, strong and low in upkeep, they are the usual choice for takeaways, jewellers, pharmacies and grocers.

Timber shopfronts in Leicester

A timber shopfront is an option for older buildings near the centre and in Highfields where the architecture calls for it. We supply wood for restaurants and independents.

Because design, size and entrance door change the cost, timber is quoted after a survey.

Roller shutters and security shutters in Leicester

Shutters are everywhere on Leicester's late-trading roads. Solid shutters give the greatest protection, while perforated and aluminium grille types allow a view in and keep the display visible.

Side bullet and floor lock upgrades can be added, and the colour can be any RAL shade. Shutters start from £450 supply only.

Shop front doors in Leicester

Leicester shop owners can pick single, double, automatic or sliding entrances. The sliding and automatic types give accessible entry, which helps busy stores.

Every opening is surveyed so the door fits without packing or trimming. Aluminium single doors start at £650 and doubles at £1,050 excluding VAT.
