Commercial shop flooring in Oxfordshire
Businesses across Oxfordshire use us for commercial shop flooring because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Banbury, Bicester, Abingdon.
Commercial shop flooring is hard-wearing floor covering laid for heavy foot traffic: sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, porcelain, resin and entrance matting.
What is shopfitting like in Oxfordshire?
In Oxfordshire we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and high street units and corner shops. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Subfloor survey and levelling
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
- Porcelain and ceramic tiling
- Resin and polished concrete
Planning and building control in Oxfordshire
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.
- Entrance areas should have matting to stop rain being walked into the shop.
- Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.
