Awnings Installed Across Kent Since 1998

SBI Ltd started right here in Kent back in 1998, and it’s still where we’re based today. We supply and install awnings from Markilux and Weinor across homes and businesses throughout the county, alongside servicing, repairs and recovers for awnings of any make, even ones we didn’t originally fit. Below are a handful of our recent installations across Kent, from a commercial re-cover in Broadstairs to a custom-branded awning for a Canterbury restaurant.

Patio Awnings, Supplied and Fitted Across Kent

A patio awning is usually the first thing people ask us about, and it’s easy to see why: it turns a patio you use for a few weeks a year into one you use for most of it. We fit both fixed and retractable models, with options for LED lighting, wind sensors, and remote or app control, all supplied through Markilux and Weinor, the manufacturers we trust most.

FAQ About Awnings in Kent

Yes, if you’re in Kent, we cover all areas, including Maidstone, Canterbury, Bromley, Orpington, Chislehurst, Broadstairs, Faversham and surrounding areas. In fact, we cover most locations across England and Wales.

Most retractable awnings count as permitted development and don’t need planning permission — but there are conditions: it can’t project more than 4 metres from the house, must be no higher than 4 metres if it’s within 2 metres of a boundary, and shouldn’t cover more than half the garden once combined with any other extensions. If your property is listed, or you’re in a conservation area — which covers parts of Canterbury, Faversham, Sandwich and several other historic Kent towns — the rules are stricter, so it’s worth checking with your local council first. If you’re not sure, give us a call and we can talk you through it based on your specific property.

As a Kent-based company, quoting local jobs is something we do every day. Prices for a standard non-LED awning start from £2,994 inc VAT, or £3,399 for our semi-cassette range with LED lighting in the arms, remote control and a safety wind sensor included as standard. It’s easy to spend over £5,000 on our premium range from Markilux and Weinor, depending on size and features. For the full pricing breakdown, see our main Awnings page.
