Welcome to Redwood Shopfront
Redwood Shopfront designs, supplies, installs and repairs made-to-measure shopfronts, roller shutters, commercial doors and glazing across London. Our in-house team works with shops, restaurants, offices, warehouses, salons, pharmacies and landlords, handling each project from the initial survey through to installation and aftercare. Book a free site survey for planned work, or call our 24-hour line if a shopfront or shutter needs urgent attention.
Your shopfront is one of the first things customers see, but appearance is only part of its job. It also needs to suit the building, provide practical access and stand up to daily commercial use.
Poorly specified or fitted shopfronts can cause problems with doors, glazing, locks, access and ongoing maintenance. That is why the survey and specification matter as much as the finished appearance.
Redwood Shopfront Ltd is an active UK-registered company, Company No. 12810572, and is listed as an installer member of the Automatic Door Installation Association.
We work with shops, restaurants, cafés, offices, salons, pharmacies, warehouses, landlords and property managers. Our work includes new commercial frontages, replacement shopfronts and repairs following accidental damage, break-ins or general wear.
Every planned project starts with the property. We measure the opening, review the entrance arrangement and discuss the glazing, access, signage, security and finish required. The quotation is then prepared around the measured opening and agreed specification.
With our own installation team, company vehicles and warehouse facilities, we can manage planned projects and repair work from the initial survey through to installation.
If the frontage has been damaged or the premises cannot be secured, call our 24-hour emergency line. We can assess broken glass, damaged entrance doors, lock problems and shutters that are stuck open or closed.

No two commercial openings are quite the same. The width and height are only the starting point. Door position, customer access, glazing, signage, shutter space, neighbouring finishes and local planning requirements can all affect the final specification.
We provide shop front installation and replacement across London using three main materials. Each one suits a different type of property and business.
Aluminium shopfronts are commonly used for shops, restaurants, offices, salons, pharmacies and other commercial units.
The frame can be made around the size of the opening, door arrangement and glazing required. Powder-coated finishes allow the frontage to work with the business colours or the surrounding building.
Aluminium is also relatively easy to maintain, which makes it useful for busy premises.
Toughened glass shopfronts suit businesses that rely on display space, natural light or a clear view into the premises.
Frameless and minimally framed arrangements can be used for restaurants, showrooms, boutiques, salons and reception areas. The glass type, thickness and door hardware are selected around the size, position and use of the frontage.
Timber shopfronts are often chosen for traditional shopping parades, cafés, boutiques and properties where a more detailed frontage suits the building.
Timber allows for painted frames, panelled lower sections and traditional detailing. It generally needs more ongoing care than aluminium, and some locations may require landlord, conservation or planning approval before work begins.
We install and repair shopfronts across London. Every quote is based on your exact opening size, materials, access, and security requirements, so pricing stays clear from the start.
A roller shutter should be specified around how the premises is used. A shop that needs visibility outside trading hours may require a different shutter from a warehouse, loading bay or garage.
Redwood Shopfront supplies and installs made-to-measure roller shutters for commercial and residential openings across London. Manual and electrically operated systems are available, depending on the size of the opening and day-to-day requirements.
Steel roller shutters provide a solid curtain for shops, stockrooms, warehouses, pharmacies and other premises where the opening needs to be closed from view.
Insulated roller shutters can be considered for workshops, garages, warehouses and loading areas where heat loss, weather exposure or operating noise is a concern.
Perforated and punched roller shutters allow some visibility and airflow through the curtain. They are often considered for retail frontages where products or internal lighting need to remain partly visible after closing.
Shopfront work often involves more than the main frame and glass. Redwood also supplies and installs windows, entrance doors and internal glazed systems for commercial and residential properties.
Our made-to-measure aluminium windows and doors include fixed and opening windows, commercial entrances, sliding doors and bifold arrangements.
Existing systems can also be assessed for problems with locks, handles, hinges, glazing, seals and tracks.
For homes, landlords and suitable commercial properties, we supply and install uPVC double-glazed windows and doors.
Available arrangements include casement, sash, flush sash and tilt-and-turn windows, together with entrance, French, sliding patio and bifold doors.
Metal doors can be used for service entrances, stockrooms, workshops, warehouses and other commercial openings.
The door construction, frame, locks, hardware and any required fire or security performance should be confirmed for the particular site before installation.
Made-to-measure glass partitions can divide offices, meeting rooms, clinics, salons and retail interiors without closing off natural light.
Framed, frameless, frosted and glazed-door arrangements are available according to the layout and privacy required.
We provide 24/7 emergency roller shutter repair. Our engineers fix stuck‑open shutters, faulty motors, damaged slats or break‑in damage and carry spare parts to restore your security quickly. The first step is to make the premises safe, then repair or replace the damaged system. Here is how we deliver clear timelines and practical guidance:
Tell us what needs installing or replacing, how the premises is used and what you want to change. We arrange a site visit to measure the opening and review the entrance, glazing, access and surrounding frontage.
We discuss the frame, glass, door arrangement, finish, locks and any shutter requirements. You then receive a written quotation based on the measured opening and agreed specification. Any required landlord or planning approval should be checked before installation is booked.
Once the quotation and specification are approved, we arrange the installation date. After fitting, the shopfront, doors and any shutter system are checked for correct operation. We also provide the relevant maintenance guidance and warranty information.
Our project pages show the location, service completed, materials used and finished result. Browse recent installations, replacements and repair work completed for commercial properties in London and other areas we cover.
Yes. We provide 24/7 support for broken glass, damaged entrance doors, stuck shutters, motor faults, damaged slats, lock problems and break-in or impact damage. The immediate priority is to assess the opening and help make the premises safe.
The new shopfront cost depends on the size of the opening, material, glass type, door setup, locks, finish, access, shutter requirements, and installation complexity.
Based on our recent installation, a new aluminium shopfront installation ranges between £2,550 and £20,150+
Redwood Shopfront provides a free site survey and written quote so you know what is included before work begins.
Yes. A free site survey allows us to measure the opening, check access and discuss the material, glazing, door and shutter options relevant to the property.
Standard shop fronts in London take 1 to 3 days on site once fabrication is complete. Larger projects or structural changes take 5 to 7 days.
Redwood manages surveys, manufacturing, and installation in-house, so we can provide you with realistic dates and minimise disruption to your business.
Redwood Shopfront offers a standard 1-year warranty on parts and labor. To ensure your investment remains protected beyond the first year and stays compliant with UK safety regulations, we also offer bespoke Care Plans.
The specification depends on the product, location and way the opening will be used. Safety glass may be required in critical glazing locations, with standards such as BS EN 12600 applying where relevant. Powered shutters and doors may also need suitable safety devices and consideration of requirements such as BS EN 12453.
The applicable product information and project requirements should be confirmed in the written specification. Read more about our approach to safety standards and compliance.
Aluminium shopfronts are a strong choice for many modern businesses because they are durable, low-maintenance, and secure. Glass shopfronts are best for visibility and display, while timber shopfronts are often used for traditional or heritage-style properties.
Yes. We install electrically operated roller shutters and can assess whether an existing manual system is suitable for upgrading. The decision depends on the existing curtain, guides, shaft, available space, electrical supply and safety requirements.
Redwood Shopfront supports commercial properties across London, Greater London, and South East England. We help businesses improve security, access, and street-facing presentation with made-to-measure shopfronts, shutters, glass systems, doors, and partitions.
For planned installation work, book a free site survey and receive a quotation based on the measured opening and chosen specification.
For broken glass, a damaged entrance or a shutter that will not operate, call the emergency number and tell us what has happened.
