Working in Dumfries and Galloway
In Dumfries and Galloway we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.

- Entrance areas should have matting to stop rain being walked into the shop.
- Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.
