We primarily serve beach hut owners in Shoreham-by-Sea, Widewater, Hove, and Worthing/Goring.
For larger projects like new beach hut construction, we may travel further afield within Sussex. Please contact us to discuss your specific location and needs.
The best way is to contact us directly via email, leaving your phone number & beach hut number, along with any photos that you may have.
We usually need to discuss the specifics of the job and may need to visit the hut (especially for repairs, construction, or larger carpentry jobs) to provide an accurate, no-obligation quote.
We prioritise emergency repairs, especially after storms common along the Sussex coast.
Contact us as soon as possible, and we'll aim to assess the damage and secure your hut quickly, scheduling full repairs thereafter.
We handle a wide range of repairs including roof repairs (felt, timber, corrugated), door and window repairs/replacements, timber cladding replacement, structural repairs, fixing leaks, and addressing general wear and tear.
Due to the coastal conditions in Sussex (salt spray, wind, sun), we generally recommend external repainting or wood treatment every 1-2 years, depending on the hut's exposure and the quality of the previous finish. Regular checks are advised.
Check out our beach hut maintenance guide to learn more about the best things you can do for your hut in each season.
Yes, we can arrange scheduled maintenance visits as part of our key holding & patrol services.
This could include checks after winter, pre-season preparation, annual wood treatment or other regular tasks tailored to your needs. This helps prevent larger issues down the line.
You should regularly check the condition of your beach hut and make sure that it is in good repair. You should also check the condition of the surrounding area and make sure that there is no erosion or other damage.

Rules vary depending on the specific beach (Shoreham, Hove, Worthing etc.) and the council (Adur & Worthing, Brighton & Hove).
Usually, like-for-like repairs don't need permission, but new builds, significant size changes, or sometimes even decking might.
You must check requirements with the relevant local council's foreshore or planning office.

Yes, on certain beaches (such as Widewater & Goring).
We construct timber & composite decking and patio bases to extend the usable space outside your hut. We ensure these are built robustly to withstand coastal weather.
Often, yes. Decking regulations are specific to each beach and council area (Adur & Worthing Council for Shoreham/Widewater/Worthing/Goring, Brighton & Hove Council for Hove). It's crucial to check with the relevant council before starting any decking work.
We can design and build custom interiors including bench seating, storage units, shelving, fold-down tables, kitchenettes, and internal cladding to maximize space and usability in your beach hut.
Yes, aside from constructing with tanlised flooboards, we also provide flooring such as vinyl flooring, LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and lino.
Our patrol service involves regular visual inspections of your beach hut's exterior to check for signs of damage (weather, vandalism), security issues (doors, windows), and general condition. We report back to you with updates and photos if requested.
With a key management service, we can regularly inspect the interior of your beach hut.
We can tailor the frequency to your needs – common options include weekly, fortnightly, or monthly checks, particularly during the off-season or periods of bad weather.
We will immediately inform you of any significant damage or security concerns found, providing details and photos.
We can then discuss and quote for any necessary temporary securing or permanent repairs.
You provide us with a spare set of keys which we store securely.
We can then grant access on your behalf (with your prior authorisation) to tradespeople for repairs/quotes, council officials, visiting friends/family, or cleaners.
Yes, keys are stored securely and anonymously (not labelled with hut number/location directly).

Yes, we keep an eye on the local market and often hear about huts coming up for sale. You can see beach huts for sale on our website and on our social media.
We can let you know about opportunities in the local area (Shoreham, Widewater, Hove, Worthing/Goring) and advise on the buying process.
We can certainly assist.
We can advise on preparing your hut for sale, suggest potential pricing based on local market conditions, and potentially connect you with interested buyers we know are looking in the area.
We can also carry out any pre-sale repairs.
You'll typically need to factor in the Council licence transfer fee (which varies by council and beach), solicitor fees (if you use one), and potentially costs for any surveys or repairs needed pre-purchase or pre-sale. We can advise on likely repair costs.
