Aluminium shopfronts fitted in Leicester
Aluminium shopfronts in Leicester start from about £2,450 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
For Leicester shops and offices, a surveyor measures the unit before anything is priced which is how the aluminium shopfronts end up the right size.
How long it takes
Lead time is typically 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off. Installation in Leicester is usually a day or two once everything is made. Closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
About the product
Aluminium is the default for high-street retail because the sections stay slim, the powder coat can match any brand colour, and the frame will not rot, swell or warp. Popular choices include low-threshold entrance options for level access; thermally broken or non-thermal sections to suit the unit.

Questions from Leicester customers
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does aluminium shopfronts cost in Leicester?
Aluminium shopfronts start from around £2,450 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission in Leicester?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from Leicester City Council. We tell you which applies at survey.
