As coastal steel framing contractors in Brighton & Hove, SFDC Ltd works with main contractors on dense seafront infill and period conversion projects. Our drylining contractors in Brighton & Hove deliver acoustic partitions and fire-rated shaft walls behind Regency elevations, while our commercial facades, cladding and fire stopping teams specify marine-grade building envelope systems built to withstand Channel exposure — bringing technical confidence to commercial construction on the South Coast.
Buildings on the Brighton & Hove seafront face salt-laden air, driving rain and the full force of Channel winds — conditions that demand facade systems specified and installed for genuine coastal durability. SFDC installs rainscreen and cladding packages using marine-grade aluminium, fibre cement and composite systems with appropriate fire classification, all detailed with robust perimeter seals and cavity management to keep wind-driven moisture out of the frame. We work closely with facade engineers to ensure every fixing, bracket and joint is specified for the exposure conditions of the Marine Parade and Kingsway frontages.
Behind Brighton's stuccoed Regency terraces and Hove's stucco squares lies a constant pipeline of conversion works — upper floors to residential, basement to retail, whole-block refurbishments. These projects demand drylining and fire stopping that achieve modern acoustic and compartmentation standards without distorting historic room proportions. SFDC installs slimline acoustic partitions, fire-rated shaft walls and penetration seals that are fully documented for Building Control and the Building Safety Act.
Space is at a premium in Brighton & Hove, and new development is increasingly infill and backland rather than greenfield. Light gauge SFS steel framing suits these constrained sites perfectly — it can be manhandled into tight access routes, erected quickly and coordinated with cladding and glazing to deliver a weathertight envelope on the smallest of footprints. Our teams are used to working around live neighbours, party wall agreements and the logistical realities of the North Laine and Western Road areas.
