HB Aluminium Fabrications

Retail, food and drive-thru

Supermarkets and food stores

Supermarket entrances take more traffic than almost any other door. They need to stay secure out of hours, open reliably all day and be put right quickly when something fails.

In short

HB Aluminium fabricates and installs aluminium shopfronts and store entrances for supermarkets and food stores, coordinates automatic doors supplied and fitted by Record Auto Doors, and maintains aluminium doors on trading sites. Our portfolio includes work at Asda Harworth, Heron Foods in Hull and Waitrose in Jesmond.

What we provide

We make frames in our Leeds factory and fit them with our own teams, either directly for the store or through the main contractor on a refit or new store.

  • Store entrance screens and lobby doors
  • Automatic doors using Record equipment
  • Replacement shopfronts
  • Door repairs and planned maintenance

Planning work on a trading store

Most food stores trade seven days a week, so entrance work is usually phased, done out of hours or arranged around a temporary entrance. Tell us the trading hours and delivery times when you enquire.

Questions and answers

Can you service automatic doors at supermarkets?

Yes, through our partner Record Auto Doors, who carry out the automation work while we coordinate it with any aluminium framing.

Can work be done outside trading hours?

Timing is agreed with each client. Let us know when the store is open and when deliveries arrive.

What should I send with an enquiry?

Drawings or photographs, the site address, the timescale and how the building is used day to day. We offer a free computer-aided estimating service from the information provided.
