Bristol is famously independent — Gloucester Road is one of the longest runs of independent shops in the UK — and independents care about frontages that stand out. We fit colour-matched aluminium, timber and frameless glass shopfronts from Cabot Circus to Clifton Village, with full roller-shutter and repair services across the South West.

Independent-first city: dual-colour RAL frames and bold fascia zones are the most-requested spec on Gloucester Road. Around Cabot Circus & Broadmead, Park Street, Gloucester Road and Clifton Village, and across Keynsham, Portishead, Clevedon, Yate, Weston-super-Mare, we design, fabricate and fit complete frontages with a typical on-site installation of just 1–3 days.

Planning permission and conservation areas in Bristol

Conservation areas cover the Old City, Park Street and Clifton, where Georgian listed terraces host much of the independent retail — sympathetic frame design is the difference between fast consent and months of back-and-forth. Like-for-like repairs generally avoid planning permission, but new or altered frontages usually need consent from Bristol City Council, and illuminated signs need separate advertisement consent. We prepare the drawings and manage the process — read the consents section of our aluminium shopfront buyer's guide for the full picture.

What does a shop front cost in Bristol?

Aluminium shopfronts average around £350 per m² installed (2025–26 price guides), with most complete projects between £2,500 and £7,350 depending on size, glazing specification and doors. Laminated security glass, automatic doors and roller shutters move the price; ordering shutters with the frontage typically saves on labour. Every Bristol project starts with a free, no-obligation site survey and a fully itemised quote.

London-based, working nationwide. No travel surcharge — we quote for the installation, not the journey. We bring the team and fabricated frontage directly to you, with out-of-hours fitting available so you never lose a trading day.
