What we see in East Sussex

Half the Fitted Wardrobes problems we fix in East Sussex started as a sizing assumption. Property here runs to Regency bows and bays, weatherboarded cottages and cliff-top villas, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The weather does the rest: severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages here, and UV breakdown of clear finishes and rapid degradation of putty lines as the predictable result. Our focus on this is using the full height so nothing is wasted above the rail.

The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Rough dimensions and a couple of photographs are enough for us to price it properly.

One thing that catches people out here: Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery.

Nothing in your house is square in East Sussex

Which is the entire reason built-in furniture costs more than flat-pack, and the entire reason it looks better.

01

We scribe to the wall

Every panel is cut to the actual line of the plaster, so there is no tapering gap running down the side of the unit.

02

We measure at three heights

Alcoves are routinely 20 to 40mm wider at the bottom than the top. One measurement is how you end up packing the gap out.

03

We finish off site

Sprayed under workshop conditions, which is a level of finish site application simply cannot reach.

“The alcoves were nearly 40mm out top to bottom and you genuinely cannot tell.”

East Sussex questions

Do you cover East Sussex?

Yes. We cover the whole of East Sussex including Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Hastings and the surrounding villages. Regency bow windows demand curved-glass and matched-profile joinery. Because severe salt exposure combined with strong UV on south-facing frontages, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.

Can you work on a listed building?

Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?

Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.

How do you handle glazing?

Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.

Can you match an existing profile?

Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.

Will the finish need maintaining?

A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
