Do you need consent?
In Leicester, applications go to Leicester City Council. A straight replacement is normally permitted, but a changed appearance, an external shutter or an illuminated sign usually does. We flag it at survey so it never delays the fit.
How much?
Guide price: from £2,450 plus VAT for a standard opening. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.
From order to fitted
Expect 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. Fitting a standard Leicester unit is normally one to two days on site. 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. Options include low-threshold entrance options for level access; thermally broken or non-thermal sections to suit the unit.
Nearby
We treat Leicester as part of our Leicestershire round across the LE postcode district, so the team is regularly nearby in Melton Mowbray, Coalville and Market Harborough.
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.
