Shop awnings and blinds in East Sussex
A traditional blind can suit a period building, so owners in the South East can ask us to match a fascia box to their East Sussex premises.
A motor with a wind sensor suits staff who are too busy to watch the weather, and owners across the South East can add one to an East Sussex order. Cafes in the South East can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your East Sussex premises need.

How much does it cost in East Sussex?
The guide price is £895 to £3,495 ex VAT per awning. We inspect the wall at your East Sussex premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.
Will an awning protect my stock from the sun?
Yes, it reduces the direct sun reaching the window display, which helps limit fading, and it can keep the front of the shop cooler. Results depend on the direction of the frontage and the projection of the awning. A light-coloured cover lets in more daylight.
Can an awning stay out in the wind?
No, awnings should be retracted in high wind, as most are designed for shade and light rain. Wind sensors can retract motorised models automatically. BS EN 13561 gives wind resistance classes, so ask which class applies to your product.
How high must an awning be above the pavement?
It depends on the highway authority, but 2.3 to 2.75 m above the pavement is common, measured to the lowest point of the awning or valance. Most also want a clear gap from the kerb. We check with your authority before we set the position.
