Shop Front Fitters Covering Every London Borough

Range Shop Fronts is based in Romford, which means London isn't a region we travel to — it's home. From flagship frontages around Oxford Street, Regent Street and Covent Garden to the hundreds of suburban high streets in between, our fitters work across every London borough daily, usually with next-day site surveys and out-of-hours installation so you never close for trading.

From West End flagships to local parades, London work is about speed, access and borough planning knowledge — all three are our daily bread. Around Oxford Street, Regent Street, Covent Garden and Westfield (Stratford & White City), and across Romford, Ilford, Croydon, Enfield, Watford, we design, fabricate and fit complete frontages with a typical on-site installation of just 1–3 days.

Planning permission and conservation areas in London

Central London has some of the UK's densest conservation-area coverage — Covent Garden, Soho and Regent Street frontages often need conservation-sensitive designs and materials. We prepare borough-specific planning drawings as part of the job. Like-for-like repairs generally avoid planning permission, but new or altered frontages usually need consent from your borough council — it varies across London (Westminster for Oxford Street, Havering for Romford, and so on), and illuminated signs need separate advertisement consent. We prepare the drawings and manage the process — read the consents section of our aluminium shopfront buyer's guide for the full picture.

What does a shop front cost in London?

Aluminium shopfronts average around £350 per m² installed (2025–26 price guides), with most complete projects between £2,500 and £7,350 depending on size, glazing specification and doors. Laminated security glass, automatic doors and roller shutters move the price; ordering shutters with the frontage typically saves on labour. Every London project starts with a free, no-obligation site survey and a fully itemised quote.
