What happens across East Sussex?
In East Sussex, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove. The Lanes in Brighton, Eastbourne's seafront and Lewes's historic high street all ask for different frontages.

What should you check before you decide?
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
Will this need planning permission across East Sussex?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
