Aluminium Shopfronts in Coventry
Aluminium Shopfronts for premises across Coventry, a short drive from our base in Exhall.
What we do in Coventry
Need a new aluminium front for a shop in Coventry? We make each one to the measurements of your opening, with the door, glass, colour and fascia box chosen around how you trade. Jobs range from a single takeaway on a local parade to a row of units refitted together.
Wherever your unit is, including Binley, Canley, Cheylesmore and City Centre, the job starts with a free measured survey and a drawing, so you can see the finished front before anything is ordered.
Coventry is one of our home areas, a short drive from the yard in Exhall, so surveys, fitting days and follow-up visits are easy to arrange.
Shopping streets and planning in Coventry
The city centre was rebuilt after the Second World War around a pedestrian precinct, so many shopfronts sit in post-war concrete frames with deep fascias and canopies. Spon Street is different: a street of timber-framed medieval buildings, some moved there from elsewhere in the city, and changes there are tightly controlled.
Foleshill Road is one of the busiest independent shopping streets in the area, with grocers, jewellers, clothing shops and restaurants. Earlsdon has cafés, bars and boutiques on its main streets, while Tile Hill, Canley, Binley and Walsgrave have local parades with takeaways, pharmacies and convenience shops.
What you get from us
The same standard on every aluminium shopfronts job, whichever town it is in.
Built to your exact opening
Every front is fabricated from our survey measurements, so it fits the building you have rather than a standard size, with no gaps packed out with foam.
One team, start to finish
You deal with the same team from the first survey to the handover, so nothing gets lost between measuring and fitting.
Secure at close of day
Multi-point locks, laminated glass and a shutter box can all be built into the same front, so security does not look bolted on afterwards.
Little upkeep for decades
Aluminium does not rot or rust. A wash with soapy water a few times a year and a drop of oil on the door hinges is the usual maintenance.

From first call to finished job
The steps for a aluminium shopfronts job, in the order they happen.
Tell us about the unit
Call, WhatsApp or use the form. A couple of photos of the current front and a rough width help us give you a ballpark figure straight away.
Free measured survey
We visit, measure the opening, check the lintel and floor level, and talk through door position, glass type, colour and any planning issues.
Drawing and fixed price
You get a drawing of the new front and a written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Fabrication
Frames are cut, coated and glazed to the approved drawing. Expect around three to four weeks, longer for special colours.
Fitting day
We remove the old front, fit the new one, seal it, adjust the doors and show you how the locks work. The old materials leave with us.
Aluminium shopfront prices
Width, height, door type and glass choice drive the price more than anything else. These are the ranges we see most often on standard jobs.
Prices are before VAT. We confirm the exact figure in writing after the survey.
Questions people ask about aluminium shopfronts
Usually not at all, or for one day at most. We prepare everything off site and fit the new front in one or two days. If you trade late, we can start early and make the shop secure before we leave each evening.
Often, yes. Most councils treat a change to the appearance of a shopfront as development that needs planning permission, and signs need advertisement consent. Repairs and true like-for-like replacements are sometimes exempt, but listed buildings and conservation areas almost never are. We check your address at survey and tell you what applies.
It is a strip of insulating plastic built into the middle of the aluminium frame. It stops cold passing straight through the metal, so the inside face stays warmer and does not run with condensation. For a heated shop it is almost always worth having, and it is often needed to meet Building Regulations.
Yes. Any RAL colour is available, and we can match a brand colour from a sample. Unusual colours add a few working days to the lead time because the coater runs them as a separate batch.
