Working in Hertfordshire
In Hertfordshire we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
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?
- Built-up and illuminated letters
- Projecting and hanging signs
- Window vinyls and frosting
- Internal wayfinding
Planning and building control in Hertfordshire
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.
- Signs over the pavement must have a safe clearance above the footway.
- Illuminated signs normally need advertisement consent from the council.
