How Much Does a New Shopfront Cost?

A new shopfront typically costs between £2,500 and £8,500 for many standard aluminium installations. Larger frontages, bespoke designs and frameless glass systems can cost considerably more.

The final price depends on the size of the opening, materials, glazing, doors, security features and installation requirements. Every commercial property has different dimensions and practical considerations, so an accurate quotation needs to reflect the individual project.

The following figures provide an indicative guide to UK market prices.

Average Shopfront Costs in the UK

These are indicative UK market estimates, not fixed Prestige Shop Fronts prices. They are intended to help with initial budgeting. The actual price will depend on the product specification, measurements, site conditions and work included.

Prices may be quoted excluding VAT. Always check whether VAT, removal, disposal, preparation and installation are included in a supplier's quotation.

How Much Does an Aluminium Shopfront Cost?

An aluminium shopfront typically costs between £2,500 and £8,500 for a small or standard retail unit. Larger commercial frontages can exceed £15,000 depending on their dimensions and specification.

Aluminium shopfronts are popular because they offer a durable and versatile solution for shops, offices and other commercial premises.

The overall price depends on:

• Width and height of the shopfront.

• Aluminium frame design and profile.

• Powder-coated colour and finish.

• Type and thickness of glazing.

• Number of entrance doors.

• Door hardware and access controls.

• Removal of the existing frontage.

• Installation complexity and site access.

A straightforward single-unit replacement generally costs less than a large frontage with multiple glazed sections, double doors and specialist access systems.

Prestige Shop Fronts can discuss the available aluminium shopfront options and prepare a quotation based on your property's dimensions and requirements.

How Much Does a Glass Shopfront Cost?

A glass shopfront can cost approximately £3,500 to £7,000 for a standard frameless installation. Larger or more complex glass frontages can cost between £6,500 and £15,000 or more.

The price depends on the size of the glass panels, glazing specification, supporting structure, door configuration and installation requirements.

Glass shopfronts help businesses create open, modern entrances that showcase products and improve visibility from the street.

Factors affecting the cost include:

• Toughened or laminated safety glass.

• Glass thickness and panel dimensions.

• Frameless or framed construction.

• Glass entrance doors and fittings.

• Specialist hardware and access systems.

• Structural support requirements.

• Installation access and handling equipment.

Large glass panels can require specialist lifting equipment and additional installation planning. This can increase the overall project cost.

How Much Do Roller Shutters Cost?

A new roller shutter typically costs between £800 and £3,000, depending on its dimensions, operation and specification.

Roller shutters provide an additional security measure for shops and commercial premises. Businesses can choose manual or electrically operated systems depending on their requirements.

These estimates vary according to the opening size, shutter construction, motor, controls and installation conditions.

If you are replacing an existing shutter, the condition of the guides, supporting structure and electrical supply may also affect the price.

Prestige Shop Fronts can provide a quotation for roller shutter installation as a standalone project or alongside a new shopfront.

How Much Do Aluminium Shopfront Doors Cost?

A single aluminium entrance door typically costs around £1,200 to £2,800, while a pair of entrance doors can cost approximately £2,500 to £5,000.

The price depends on the door dimensions, frame, glazing, hardware and security specification.

Additional requirements can include:

• Single or double entrance doors.

• Heavy-duty hinges and locks.

• Door closers and handles.

• Access control systems.

• Safety glazing.

• Specialist entrance configurations.

Businesses should consider how frequently the doors will be used and the access requirements of customers, staff and deliveries.

How Much Does Shopfront Replacement Cost?

Shopfront replacement costs depend on the size and specification of the new frontage, as well as the work needed to remove the existing installation.

A standard aluminium shopfront replacement may cost approximately £2,500 to £8,500. Larger or bespoke replacements can exceed this range.

Replacement work may involve:

• Removing the existing frames and glazing.

• Disposing of old shopfront materials.

• Preparing the structural opening.

• Installing new aluminium framing.

• Fitting replacement glazing.

• Installing new entrance doors.

• Adding roller shutters or security features.

• Completing necessary finishing work.

The condition of the existing building opening can affect the price. Structural alterations, specialist access equipment and additional preparation may increase the overall cost.

Prestige Shop Fronts can assess your existing frontage and discuss suitable replacement options.

How Much Do Shopfront Repairs Cost?

Shopfront repair costs vary according to the type of damage, replacement components and labour involved.

The following figures provide a general guide to common repair work.

These figures are indicative and do not cover every repair scenario. Large glazing panels, emergency attendance, specialist parts and difficult access can increase costs.

A professional assessment helps establish whether repairing the existing shopfront is practical or whether replacing the damaged section offers better value.

Contact Prestige Shop Fronts with photographs and details of the damage to discuss your repair requirements.

What Affects the Cost of a Shopfront?

Several factors influence the overall cost of a shopfront project. Understanding these elements helps you compare quotations and choose a solution that meets your requirements.

Shopfront Size and Dimensions

The width and height of your shopfront determine how much framing, glazing and supporting material the installation requires. Larger frontages generally cost more because they need additional materials and installation time.

Accurate measurements also help establish the correct specification and reduce the risk of unexpected costs.

Choice of Shopfront Material

The material affects the appearance, durability and price of your shopfront.

Aluminium provides a versatile framing option for many retail and commercial properties. Frameless glass systems create a more open appearance but can require specialist glass, fittings and installation methods.

The best option depends on your budget, building design and intended use.

Glass and Glazing Specification

Glazing costs vary according to the type, thickness, dimensions and performance requirements of the glass.

Safety glazing may be necessary in certain locations. Other considerations include thermal performance, acoustic requirements, appearance and the size of individual glazed panels.

A suitable glazing specification helps ensure the finished shopfront meets the practical requirements of the premises.

Doors and Access Systems

The number and type of doors affect the cost of a shopfront installation. A project may require single or double entrance doors, specialist access arrangements, additional hardware or electronic access systems.

Door choice also affects accessibility, security and everyday use.

Roller Shutters and Security Features

Businesses may require roller shutters alongside a new or replacement shopfront. The price depends on the shutter dimensions, operating system, materials and installation requirements.

Additional security features and access controls can also influence the final project cost.

Installation Requirements

The condition of the existing frontage and the layout of the building can affect installation costs.

Some projects involve removing an old shopfront, preparing the opening, modifying existing structures or arranging specialist access equipment. Site access and installation complexity can also affect labour costs.

Bespoke Designs and Finishes

Custom shopfronts may require specialist measurements, non-standard dimensions, particular colours or tailored configurations.

Bespoke designs allow businesses to create a frontage that suits their premises and brand identity. However, additional design and manufacturing requirements can increase the price.

We Guarantee to Beat Any Like-for-Like Quote

Prestige Shop Fronts understands that price matters when businesses invest in new shopfronts and commercial entrance systems.

We guarantee to beat any like-for-like quote.

If another company has quoted for the same shopfront products, materials, dimensions, specification and installation work, send us a copy of the quotation. We will compare the details and aim to provide a lower price.

A like-for-like comparison helps ensure that you compare equivalent products and services. Differences in glazing, frame materials, door specifications, security features and installation work can affect the price.

Our aim is to help you secure the right shopfront at a competitive price without overlooking the quality and practical requirements of the installation.

To request a comparison, provide the competing quotation alongside your project details. We can then review the specification and discuss the available options.

Are Cheap Shopfronts Worth It?

Choosing a shopfront based only on the lowest initial price can create problems if the products or installation do not meet the property's requirements.

A suitable shopfront should provide the right balance of appearance, durability, security and everyday performance. Poor measurements, unsuitable materials or an incomplete installation specification can lead to additional costs later.

When comparing shopfront quotations, consider:

• The quality and specification of the framing.

• The type and performance of the glazing.

• The doors, locks and hardware included.

• Whether roller shutters or access systems are included.

• Removal and disposal of the existing frontage.

• The installation work covered by the price.

• Product warranties and aftercare arrangements.

• Any exclusions or additional charges.

• Whether VAT is included.

A detailed quotation makes it easier to understand what you are paying for. Prestige Shop Fronts aims to provide competitive pricing alongside shopfront solutions suited to each commercial property.
