Shop Front Spraying Services
Slough Decorators handle aluminium and powder-coated steel fascia spraying across Slough High Street, Queensmere, Farnham Road, and Trading Estate commercial units.
HVLP and Airless Spray on Metal Fascias
Modern shop fascias are aluminium extrusions or powder-coated steel sections. Both require a two-stage system — etch primer followed by a spray topcoat — to produce adhesion that holds at the panel face.
We use HVLP spray for smaller shopfront fascias where detail control matters. For larger fascia areas on Trading Estate units, airless spray covers the surface area more quickly without loss of finish quality.
Out-of-Hours Scheduling for Retail Environments
Retail units on Slough High Street and Farnham Road cannot be sprayed during trading hours. The typical window is a Saturday night into Sunday morning — from close on Saturday to open on Sunday.
We confirm the scheduling window with you and the landlord before any programme is agreed. For the wider commercial out-of-hours scheduling context, see our commercial painting page.
Slough Trading Estate Commercial Fascias
Over 400 tenants across light-industrial, logistics, and office categories go through a regular fascia and roller shutter maintenance cycle. Roller shutter doors are steel and require the same etch primer plus topcoat approach as aluminium shopfronts.
Access on the Trading Estate is generally simpler than on a High Street — no pedestrian masking, broader scheduling windows, and in most cases the unit can be approached from the service road.
Etch Primer on Aluminium and Steel
Applying a topcoat directly to an aluminium or powder-coated steel surface without etch primer produces a result that peels at the first temperature change cycle. The etch primer keys into the metal surface chemically; the topcoat bonds to the primed face.
Shopfront painting on Trading Estate units where a specific colour change is needed — rebranding or new tenancy — uses the same etch primer plus topcoat approach as retail fascias.
Conservation Area Shopfront Consent
Some Burnham parade frontages may sit within a conservation area boundary — this applies to a small number of units rather than the High Street at large.
Where consent for a colour change is needed, we confirm the proposed colour with the local planning authority before any work begins and do not spray in a non-consented colour.

Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit and Fascia Assessment
We visit the unit, assess fascia width, substrate type, current condition, and the surrounding masking requirements. We confirm the scheduling window — early-morning, weekend overnight, or trading-day closure — with you.
2. Surface Preparation
Existing peeling paint is removed. Any rust on steel roller shutters is treated with a rust converter or inhibitor before primer goes on. Signage adhesive residue on the fascia face is cleaned off before primer is applied.
3. Masking
We mask glazing, adjacent shopfronts, signage, and the pavement surface in front of the unit. Overspray on natural stone cill, granite pavement, or adjacent glazing is very difficult to remove cleanly.
4. Etch Primer Application
Etch primer goes on across the full metal substrate. We allow adequate flash-off time before the topcoat phase begins. This is not an optional step on aluminium or powder-coated steel.
5. Topcoat Spray and De-Mask
Topcoat is applied in the agreed colour. After flash-off, we remove all masking and check the full fascia before leaving. We confirm the result is complete before the unit opens.
Shop Front Spraying Costs in Slough
Costs vary across Slough’s diverse stock; figures below are starting ranges. Call 01753 303456 for a free quote.
Shop front spraying in Slough typically ranges from around GBP 900 for a single-frontage aluminium fascia with roller shutter on a High Street or Farnham Road retail unit, to GBP 2,200 or more for a wider Trading Estate commercial unit with fascia, roller shutter, and signage surround refresh.
Fascia Width and Height
A narrow single-frontage retail unit on the High Street has less surface area than a double-frontage unit or a wide Trading Estate unit. Fascia area is the primary determinant of spray time and material cost.
Roller Shutter Inclusion
Roller shutters in steel require separate rust treatment, etch primer, and topcoat. A programme covering the fascia and roller shutter costs more than a fascia-only respray.
Scheduling Premium
Saturday night into Sunday morning work on an occupied retail street carries a scheduling premium over a straightforward daytime Trading Estate programme. Out-of-hours rates are confirmed at the time of quoting.
Trade Insight
Slough High Street and Queensmere units on two-to-four-year cycles typically have peeling topcoat from a previous application where etch primer was skipped. If a quote does not include etch primer as a stated step, ask why.
Typical ranges: single-frontage retail fascia on Slough High Street or Farnham Road, GBP 900 to GBP 1,400; double-frontage retail fascia on Slough High Street or Queensmere, GBP 1,300 to GBP 2,000; Trading Estate commercial fascia respray, GBP 900 to GBP 2,200 depending on unit width.
