Electric Awnings
Traditional awnings using a crank handle are still great and we sell many of those, but you just can’t beat a reliable dynamic state-of-the-art electrical awning. At the touch of a button you can extend and retract to whatever distance you want shade. The sun moves, and so can your awning! The Weinor and BASE range electric awning motors and remote controls are tried tested and refined. They provide a reliable way to extend and retract your beautiful awning into and out from its cassette. We have an enormous range of electrical awnings that work seamlessly to extend your outside living space. An electric awning gives you lots of control over the shade, privacy, and aesthetic of your outside home.
With full remote control at the touch of a button, you can sweep in some shade on hot days and draw back your electric awning as needed. We offer a wide range of accessories from lighting, heating, and weather sensors to ensure your awning does exactly what you want. An electric awning can retract automatically when wind speeds reach a specified limit. Basically just perfect and worry-free! We offer a superb range of electric awnings with an even bigger range of colours, and sizes. We also provide a comprehensive electric awning repair service including re-covering, arm repairs, motor and remote replacement and repair with many years of experience across a wide range of brands.
Whatever you need to augment your home and provide shade, we have an electric awning that is perfect for the spot. We sell and expertly install new electric awnings across Surrey and surrounding areas including Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Kent. We are based in Guildford and have many happy awning customers across Surrey and all the surrounding counties.

An awning fitted at a 15-degree pitch will self-drain rainwater from the surface. If it is windy refer to the wind class of your awning which will let you know which wind speed the awning is rated for. Many awnings can include a wind speed monitor which will automatically close the awning if the wind speed gets too gusty. Fabrics vary and offer light rain protection. In practice, this means all sorts of weather, but we can advise on the limitations of your awning fabric choice. Guarantees do not cover your awning if left open during weather outside its operational rating.
This is actually the hardest bit when purchasing a new awning, or re-covering an existing installation. We offer two enormous ranges of fabrics; one from Weinor and the other from Dickson. Both long-established top-of-the-range awning fabric suppliers with 171 and 340 fabrics to choose from respectively. Don’t worry! We can help!
No planning permission is required, if you are a commercial building and you are having the awning sign written then it will come under signage regulation. If you would like sound advice, then please get in touch.
