Working in Cambridgeshire
In Cambridgeshire we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and convenience stores and off-licences. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
The East of England mixes historic market towns with new town centres and retail parks, which means a shopfitter here is as likely to work on a listed frontage as on a modern shell unit.
What does the work include?
- Counters and cash desks
- Display cabinets, lockable and lit
- Wall units and shelving
- Laminate, veneer and painted finishes
Planning and building control in Cambridgeshire
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- Hard-wearing edges matter more than the face finish on busy counters.
- Allow time for drawing approval before manufacture starts.
