Bi-folding shopfronts, Leicester
Bi-folding shopfronts in Leicester start from about £5,200 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
For Leicester shops and offices, every job begins with a visit to measure the opening which is how the bi-folding shopfronts end up the right size.
Do you need consent?
The local planning authority for Leicester is Leicester City Council. Replacing an existing frontage in the same style seldom needs permission, though external shutters and lit signs normally need approval. We flag it at survey so it never delays the fit.
Price guide
Bi-folding shopfronts start at around £5,200 plus VAT. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.
Lead times
Manufacture usually takes 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off. Fitting a standard Leicester unit is normally one to two days on site. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.
Specification notes
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. Common specifications: low-profile threshold when open; traffic door built into the run for daily use.
Coverage
We treat Leicester as part of our Leicestershire round covering LE postcodes, and we are often working close by in Melton Mowbray, Coalville and Market Harborough.
