Bespoke shop joinery and counters in the Scottish Borders
From Galashiels to Hawick, we deliver bespoke shop joinery and counters for independent owners and multi-site operators across the Scottish Borders, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
Bespoke shop joinery is furniture made for your unit: counters, display cabinets, wall units, fitting room doors and feature pieces, built in a workshop and fitted on site.
Working in the Scottish Borders
In Scottish Borders we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Border towns have compact, historic high streets where shopfront changes are often in conservation areas.
What does the work include?
- Workshop drawings for approval
- Counters and cash desks
- Display cabinets, lockable and lit
- Wall units and shelving
Planning and building control in the Scottish Borders
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
- Hard-wearing edges matter more than the face finish on busy counters.
- Allow time for drawing approval before manufacture starts.
