Timber shop fronts East Sussex

Exposure varies from street to street in the South East, so we choose the timber and paint system for your East Sussex frontage after seeing it. Timber can suit an older building, so we match mouldings and proportions on your East Sussex premises and do not offer a stock pattern.

What do we offer in East Sussex?

Slim double-glazed unitsSlim sealed units can sit in moulded glazing bars where heat loss or street noise matters.

Panelled stall riserA timber panelled riser protects the base of the glass. A capped top and a plinth that keeps end grain off the ground help it last.

Engineered timberLaminated sections resist twisting better than solid boards, which helps on long transoms and large door frames.

How much does it cost in East Sussex?

As a guide, allow £3,995 to £9,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. We look at your existing East Sussex joinery first, because sound sills, pilasters or brackets on older buildings in the South East can often be repaired and kept. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of East Sussex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.

Can you repair my timber shopfront instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. Rotten sills, rails and glazing bars can usually be cut out and spliced. Repair work starts with a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, and we tell you the cost before we come out, then advise whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Is a timber shop front secure?

It can be, when the door is well built and the locks suit the use. A BS 3621 mortice deadlock is common on timber shop doors, and laminated glass adds resistance. Your insurer may set conditions, so check the policy before we specify hardware.

Is timber allowed in a conservation area?

Yes, and it is often what the planning authority prefers. A material change to the frontage can still need planning permission in England, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We can prepare the drawings for your application, and the council makes the decision.
