Store fronts in the CF postcode area.

The CF postcode area covers Cardiff and the wider South Wales region, taking in Cardiff, Caerphilly, Penarth, Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Pontypridd and Bridgend. While the CF area sits beyond our immediate Midlands catchment, it's a regular destination for our installation team — we run scheduled crews to Cardiff and surrounding towns most weeks.

What we install in the CF area.

Across the CF postcode we fit the full range of commercial frontage systems for retailers, restaurants, offices, industrial units and landlords:

• Aluminium store fronts — durable, low-maintenance, available in any RAL colour. The default specification for most Cardiff commercial premises.
• Glass shopfronts — frameless and minimal-frame toughened glass, ideal for premium retail and showrooms.
• Automatic doors — DDA-compliant sliding, swing and telescopic auto-doors for supermarkets, clinics and busy entrances.
• Roller shutters — insulated, perforated and solid-lath shutters for overnight security across Cardiff's commercial premises.
• Curtain walling — full-height structural glazing for offices and flagship retail.
• Timber shopfronts — hardwood frontages for conservation areas and listed buildings throughout South Wales.
• uPVC frontages — cost-effective option for budget-conscious refurbishments.
• Security doors — PAS 24 and LPS 1175 certified doors for higher-risk premises.
• Fire doors — FD30 and FD60 certified doorsets, fitted by BWF-accredited installers.
• Repairs and emergency board-up — same-week response across the CF area.

Response and lead times.

Emergency response

Daytime emergency response within 4–6 hours of call. Out-of-hours emergencies covered subject to crew availability.

Planning context for Wales.

Welsh planning has one specific quirk worth flagging: under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, any signage on commercial frontages in many parts of Wales is expected to be bilingual. We handle the Welsh-language sign elements as part of the package — no extra design fees, and we'll co-ordinate translation if needed.

Coverage detail — CF postcode area.

The CF postcode covers CF1–CF83, taking in: Cardiff, Caerphilly, Penarth, Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Pontypridd and Bridgend. If your premises is on the edge of the postcode area or sits across two postcodes, we still cover it — postcode boundaries don't change our service area.

Why Cardiff businesses use Store Fronts UK.

Most of our work in the CF area comes through repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals. Three reasons clients tend to come back:

• One accountable team. We design, fabricate and fit in-house — no subcontractors, no agency fitters. If something needs sorting, you call us, not a chain of third parties.
• Fixed quotes. What's on the survey is what's on the invoice. No "the job took longer than expected" surprises.
• 10-year workmanship guarantee. If a seal fails, a hinge works loose or a shutter binds within a decade of our installation, we come back and fix it. No invoice, no arguments.
