Aluminium cladding and ACM panels in West Sussex
Owners across the South East can ask us to match an existing RAL colour, which keeps a new section in line with the rest of a West Sussex building.
We measure columns, soffits and fascias together on one visit, so that panel joints line up neatly across your West Sussex frontage. Cladding changes how a building looks, so in the South East we confirm with you whether a planning application is likely for your West Sussex unit.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of West Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Sussex, including Bognor Regis, Chichester, Crawley, Haywards Heath.
Can cladding go over existing brickwork?
Yes, using a support frame fixed back to sound brickwork, with a ventilated gap behind the panels. We check the substrate first, as loose render or damp walls need attention before anything covers them. Insulation and cavity barriers may also be required under building regulations.
Is ACM cladding safe to use?
It depends on the core and where it is used. In England, metal composite panels with an unmodified polyethylene core are banned from the external walls of buildings of any height. Mineral-filled and solid aluminium options are available. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so check early.
Do I need planning permission for shop cladding?
Usually yes in England, if the cladding materially alters how the building looks. Recladding a fascia like for like may not need it, but a new colour or material across a facade usually will. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and listed buildings need extra care.
