What happens at the survey?
Before we price suspended ceilings and partitions in Lewes, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Lewes we are usually asked to work on boutiques and independent retailers and salons, barbers and beauty clinics.

What should Lewes owners check first?
- Stockroom walls should be built to take heavy racking fixings.
- Walls between a shop and a neighbouring unit or flat may need a fire rating.
- Grid ceilings give easy access to services; plasterboard looks cleaner.
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.
