Every shopfront repair project we facilitate is delivered by a vetted specialist with appropriate trade accreditations, insurance and references. The process is straightforward:
- Tell us about the property. Submit a quick brief — location, property type, dimensions if known.

Why specialist installation matters
Shopfront Repair sit at the boundary between security, weather-tightness and kerb appeal. Cutting corners on specification or installation tends to surface within twelve months — through misalignment, motor failure, water ingress or rapid corrosion. The specialists in our network are selected for the quality of their long-term work, not the speed of their quotes.
Typical applications
- Retail premises and high-street shops
- Restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Listed buildings and conservation areas (where applicable)
Costs & pricing
Shopfront Repair pricing varies significantly with size, specification, finish and access complexity. For typical commercial premises, you can expect a quote that itemises materials, fabrication, installation, warranty period and any optional aftercare. For a detailed breakdown of typical price ranges across different specifications, see our shopfronts cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you board up after a break-in?
Most specialists offer 2–4 hour response in cities and same-day elsewhere. The premises are made secure with plywood or polycarbonate sheeting until permanent glass replacement is arranged.
Does insurance cover shopfront damage?
Most commercial property insurance covers shopfront repair under buildings or contents glass cover. Specialists will provide insurance-format quotes and liaise with loss adjusters where useful.
How long for replacement glass?
Standard sizes — usually next-day. Bespoke laminated or curved glass can take 7–14 days, during which the premises are kept secure with boarding.
Can damaged frames be repaired or do they need replacing?
Aluminium frames usually accept repair (re-glazing, gasket replacement, door realignment). Timber frames are repairable for minor damage; major rot or impact may require partial reconstruction.
