Aluminium & glass shopfronts, roller shutters, curtain walling and repairs — free site survey in Cambridge.
Cambridge is one of our closest major cities — barely an hour and a half from our Romford base — and one of the most design-controlled. The college-dominated historic core around Market Square and King's Parade demands conservation-grade frontages, while the Grand Arcade and the independent-rich Mill Road give us steady modern aluminium and glass work.
Proximity to our base means Cambridge gets genuine next-day surveys and fast snagging visits — rare for a heritage city this controlled. Around the Grand Arcade, Lion Yard, Market Square/King's Parade and Mill Road, and across Ely, Newmarket, St Neots, Huntingdon, Royston, we design, fabricate and fit complete frontages with a typical on-site installation of just 1–3 days.
Thermally broken, powder-coated frames in 213 RAL colours — the best-value modern frontage.
Toughened and frameless glass frontages for premium, high-visibility retail.
Conservation-friendly timber designs for heritage streets and listed settings.
Solid, perforated, punched-hole and grille shutters — supply, fit and repair.
Double-height and multi-storey glazed frontages for landmark units.
Glass replacement, shutter repair and on-site respraying in any RAL colour.
The Cambridge Central Conservation Area covers virtually the whole retail core, with college frontages on every side — expect strict design control, and expect us to handle the drawings for it. Like-for-like repairs generally avoid planning permission, but new or altered frontages usually need consent from Cambridge 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.
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 Cambridge project starts with a free, no-obligation site survey and a fully itemised quote.
We arrange free site surveys in Cambridge within a few days of your call — often sooner. Fabrication typically takes 2–4 weeks after the survey, and on-site installation of a standard front takes 1–3 days. We also cover Ely, Newmarket, St Neots and the surrounding area.
