Aluminium & glass shopfronts, roller shutters, curtain walling and repairs — free site survey in Manchester.
Manchester's retail scene runs from high-footfall flagship frontages on Market Street and the Arndale to the independent-heavy Northern Quarter and Deansgate — and each demands a different kind of shopfront. We supply and fit aluminium and frameless glass frontages, automatic doors and security shutters across Greater Manchester, with surveys typically booked within days of your call.
Independent traders in the Northern Quarter often choose slim-profile anthracite aluminium; Market Street units lean toward toughened-glass frontages with automatic doors. Around Market Street, the Northern Quarter, Deansgate and King Street, and across Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham, Bury, 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.
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 Manchester project starts with a free, no-obligation site survey and a fully itemised quote.
Conservation areas cover much of the retail core — St Ann's Square, Stevenson Square and Upper King Street — and many Northern Quarter units sit in converted listed Victorian warehouses, so sympathetic frame profiles and colours matter to planners. Like-for-like repairs generally avoid planning permission, but new or altered frontages usually need consent from Manchester 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.
We arrange free site surveys in Manchester 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 Salford, Stockport, Bolton and the surrounding area.
