What happens across East Sussex?
We work right across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. 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 makes the difference?
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
What should you budget?

Will this need planning permission across East Sussex?
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.

How soon can you fit an electric roller shutter across East Sussex?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
Can you match the shutter to my shopfront?

Do I need planning permission for a shutter across East Sussex?
An external shutter usually needs it, and your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.

Yes, by hand, if a manual override is fitted. We specify one on new electric shutters.
