Working in Bedfordshire
Most enquiries we get from Bedfordshire come from cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants or salons, barbers and beauty clinics, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
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?
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
- Porcelain and ceramic tiling
- Resin and polished concrete
- Recessed entrance matting
What approvals might you need in Bedfordshire?
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.
- A poor subfloor shows through thin vinyl; levelling is worth paying for.
- Entrance areas should have matting to stop rain being walked into the shop.
