Shopfronts
Shopfront glass and aluminium across Sussex
We install, repair and replace shopfronts across Sussex from our Lancing workshop. New aluminium shopfronts, replacement glass for existing frames, automatic and manual entrance doors and 24 hour emergency boarding for break-ins are all part of our service. We are local enough to be on site quickly when something goes wrong, and big enough to handle full shopfit projects for independent retailers and chain operators.
Why Brooklands
A shopfront repair or refit is rarely just glass - we do the frame, the door, the boarding and the insurance paperwork.

Independent retailers on the Sussex coast call us first when something goes wrong, because they know we will be on site quickly and we will not bounce them between subcontractors. We board up, replace the glass, refit the door and issue the photo-itemised invoice your insurer needs.

How the job runs
Five steps. Same on every shopfronts job, big or small.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about shopfronts from our customers across Sussex.
Same day, in most cases within a few hours of the call. We carry boarding stock for standard shopfront sizes and we can usually be on site quickly if the location is in our regular service area.
Standard sizes can be replaced within 24 to 48 hours. Bespoke or laminated panels take longer because the glass has to be cut, toughened and laminated.
Yes. From a single replacement door to a complete aluminium shopfront, we handle survey, manufacture, install and ironmongery.
Toughened breaks into small blunt pieces; laminated holds together on impact thanks to an interlayer. For shopfronts at risk of break-in, toughened laminated combines both benefits.
Yes. Supply, install and maintenance contracts.
Vinyl signage and window graphics, yes. For built-up signs we work with trusted local sign makers.
