Retail and shopfront projects depend on accurate masonry around entrances, glazing and façade features, where dimensions, levels and interfaces must align closely with the wider frontage design.

ITM Brickwork provides brickwork and blockwork for shops, retail premises and commercial frontages throughout Greater London and neighbouring areas, supporting new construction as well as alterations and refurbishment projects.

Our masonry works can include external façades, shopfront openings, piers, blockwork and the modification or reinstatement of existing brickwork as retail spaces are constructed, adapted or upgraded.

  • London has more than 600 high streets — and around 90% of Londoners live within a ten-minute walk of one. That helps explain why retail premises and shopfronts form such a widespread part of London’s built environment, extending far beyond the major central shopping districts. Source: Greater London Authority / London Assembly.

What Our Retail & Shopfront Brickwork Includes

From new façades and shopfront openings to alterations and internal masonry, we support the key brickwork
requirements of retail construction and refurbishment projects.

Shopfront Openings & Piers

Masonry around shopfront entrances, glazing openings, piers and returns, formed to the required dimensions and coordinated with specified structural details.

Retail Façades & Facing Brickwork

Facing brickwork for retail elevations and commercial frontages, including corners, openings, soldier courses and other specified façade details.

Alterations, Infill & Reinstatement

Brickwork alterations where existing façades or openings are changed, including infilling, rebuilding, localised repairs and making good surrounding masonry.

Blockwork & Back-of-House Masonry

Blockwork for internal retail areas, back-of-house spaces and other masonry walls constructed in accordance with project drawings and required wall build-ups.

Why choose ITM Brickwork for Retail & Shopfronts?

Retail façades often bring several building elements together within a relatively small area. Brickwork around shopfront openings must coordinate with glazing, entrances, structural elements, thresholds and architectural details, making accurate setting-out and sequencing particularly important.

ITM Brickwork approaches retail masonry as part of the wider construction or refurbishment programme, working from issued drawings and coordinating brickwork stages with the interfaces around them. This is particularly valuable where an existing frontage is being altered and new masonry must integrate cleanly with retained construction.

Send ITM Brickwork your drawings, frontage details and masonry requirements to discuss retail brickwork projects across London and surrounding areas.

When to Involve ITM Brickwork in Your Retail Project

ITM Brickwork can be brought into the project as frontage details are confirmed and individual masonry stages become ready to progress.

ITM Brickwork is usually required when:

  • Once drawings confirm frontage layouts, opening sizes and wall build-ups

  • When structural walls and piers are set out ready for masonry

  • Before glazing and entrance installation, when masonry dimensions must be ready

  • During formation or rebuilding of shopfront openings, piers and returns

  • When façade features, thresholds, DPC details and service interfaces require coordination

  • During refurbishment after existing frontage or masonry has been removed
