Timescales
Lead time is typically 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
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.

Common questions
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 bi-folding shopfronts cost in Solihull?
Bi-folding shopfronts start from around £5,200 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 Solihull?
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 Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. We tell you which applies at survey.
