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 is worth knowing?
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 about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
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.
