How does it work across East Sussex?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove are among the places we cover. Councils here include Brighton and Hove, Lewes and Wealden. The Lanes in Brighton, Eastbourne's seafront and Lewes's historic high street all ask for different frontages.
What should you think about first?
How does a joint install save trading time?
The frontage and shutter go in as one sequence, so you close once. With two contractors, you close twice and hope they agree on who damaged what.
What decides the final package price?
Width, height, frame material, curtain type, and whether the box can be hidden. Access and strip-out are the other two things that move the price.
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your council will normally expect a planning application. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
