Shopfront Installation & Repair in Aldgate East

Technical Expertise

Glazing & Safety Standards

Safety is non-negotiable. All our installations in Aldgate East strictly adhere to BS EN 12600 for impact safety. We specialize in Toughened Safety Glass (BS EN 12600) and Low-E Glass Units. For high-risk areas, we install laminated glass which holds together even when shattered, maintaining the security of your premises until a full replacement can be fitted.

Door Hardware & Automation

A shopfront is only as good as its operation. We diagnose and replace faulty Thermally Broken Aluminium Profiles and Concealed Transom Closers. If your heavy glass door is dragging or slamming, it often indicates a failure in the floor spring mechanism. Our engineers in Aldgate East carry specialized lifting equipment to safely remove heavy leaves and replace the hydraulic units, restoring smooth, safe operation.

⚠️ Regulatory Compliance in Aldgate East

Commercial entrances must meet strict UK regulations. We ensure your doors comply with the Equality Act 2010 (DDA Compliance), providing clear opening widths and low-threshold access for wheelchair users. Furthermore, all our powered doors meet BS EN 16005 safety standards, utilizing safety sensors to prevent impact injuries.
