Commercial shop flooring across Tayside
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Tayside, our commercial shop flooring service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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 Tayside?
In Tayside we mostly see convenience stores and off-licences and boutiques and independent retailers. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North East Scotland's cities and coastal towns have a steady demand for refits of older granite and stone shop units.
What does the work include?
- Recessed entrance matting
- Anti-slip finishes for wet areas
- Subfloor survey and levelling
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
Planning and building control in Tayside
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.
- Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.
- A poor subfloor shows through thin vinyl; levelling is worth paying for.
