Timber shopfronts across Smethwick
Timber shopfronts in Smethwick start from about £3,800 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
Across Smethwick, we start by measuring the actual opening, not a photo and the timber shopfronts are then made to those dimensions.
From order to fitted
Lead time is typically 5-7 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
Where a parade is listed or sits in a conservation area, the planning authority will often expect timber. Popular choices include factory-primed, finished on site; concealed modern weathering and security details.

How much?
Budget from £3,800 plus VAT as a starting point. Your quote depends on the opening size, the finish and how easy access is. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
