Local projects in West Sussex
In West Sussex we mostly see cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and salons, barbers and beauty clinics. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Styling stations with mirrors and power
- Backwash units with hot water and drainage
- Reception desk and retail display
- Treatment rooms and partitions
What approvals might you need in West Sussex?
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- Hair traps on backwash drainage save costly blockages.
- Backwash units need hot water capacity sized for several basins running together.

Will I need a bigger water heater?
Often yes. Several backwash basins running at once need more hot water than a standard shop heater gives.

As a rough guide each styling station needs around 1.2 metres of wall and space behind for the stylist to work. We draw it out at survey.
