Will you work outside of our trading hours?

Yes — out-of-hours and overnight installation is standard for retail projects. We coordinate with your landlord, building management and security to minimise downtime.

Can you handle a multi-site rollout?

Yes — we work directly with retail rollout managers and shopfit contractors. References available for multi-site programmes across high street and shopping centre formats.

Do shopfront replacements need planning permission?

Like-for-like replacement is usually permitted development. Design changes, conservation areas and listed buildings require consent — we handle the entire application process.

What's the typical cost of a retail shopfront?

Single retail unit shopfronts typically cost £4,000-£12,000 supplied and installed, depending on width, glazing specification and finishes. Multi-site work attracts volume discounts.

Retail Shopfronts & Glazing | High Street, Shopping Centres

Retail is where first impressions matter most. The shopfront is your most important marketing investment — it greets every customer before they step inside. S&K Glazing has installed shopfronts, roller shutters and glazing for hundreds of retail clients across the UK, from independent boutiques to national chains. We work out-of-hours and overnight to minimise trading disruption, and we handle planning consultations and listed-building consent applications where needed.

Key glazing requirements

Aluminium and frameless glass shopfronts for maximum visibility
Manual and electric roller shutters for overnight security
Toughened safety glass for high-traffic doorways
Smart glass for fitting room privacy and feature walls
DDA-compliant flush thresholds for accessible entry
Out-of-hours installation to protect trading hours
