Shopfronts, shutters and doors in Nottingham

Nottingham: local shopping streets and premises

Hockley's bars and studios sit under tall brick buildings, and a clear glass front with a neat frame makes the ground floor feel part of the building above. Out in Sherwood, Arnold and Bulwell, shopping is about everyday trade, so sturdy doors, dependable shutters and easy upkeep matter most.

Deliveries are worth planning: a double or sliding door gives wide access for trolleys, and a shutter box needs headroom above the opening, which the survey checks.

Students, shift workers and evening diners all feed the Nottingham trade, so a lit window behind a see-through shutter can keep working for the business long after the till is closed. For a bar or restaurant, that alone can justify perforated or grille shutters rather than a solid curtain.

If your unit is in the Lace Market or another conservation area, talk to the council before the design is fixed. A timber or aluminium front, with see-through shutters in a colour that suits the street, is usually the easiest to agree.

How a Nottingham job works

Nottingham orders start with photographs and rough sizes. We survey if needed and send a free written quotation; once it is approved the order is made up in Barking, then installed or delivered for your own fitter.

Bars and cafés tend to prefer see-through shutters so the window still glows. Stock rooms and rear doors do better with solid. Aluminium is the easy-care frame, and timber gives an older building the character it deserves.

Glass shopfronts in Nottingham

Glass shopfronts give a Nottingham café or bar a bright, open face. A clear view in and out lets the interior act as the sign, especially on evening streets such as Hockley.

We supply the frontage to the size of your opening, and fit it if you want. The glass and aluminium system is available from £999 on a standard specification.

Aluminium shopfronts and commercial glazing in Nottingham

Aluminium fronts are a durable option on Nottingham's busy routes such as Mansfield Road and Alfreton Road, and they come in any RAL colour.

Slim frames keep the glass area generous, and little upkeep is needed.

Timber shopfronts in Nottingham

Older Nottingham buildings, such as those around the Lace Market and Sneinton, can carry a timber frontage well. We supply wood for traditional looks.

Timber work is quoted after a survey because cost depends on design and size.

Roller shutters and security shutters in Nottingham

Roller shutters help protect shops in Bulwell and Radford once trading stops. A solid shutter is the strongest, and perforated or grille types leave the display visible.

Locks can be upgraded and the colour chosen from the RAL range. Shutters are priced from £450 as supply only.

Shop front doors in Nottingham

For a Nottingham entrance, choose from single, double, automatic or sliding doors. Busy stores do well with the automatic and sliding kinds.

The survey confirms width, height and threshold before ordering. Single doors start at £650, doubles at £1,050, before VAT, with the survey confirming the final figure.
