Working in Tyne and Wear
In Tyne and Wear we mostly see boutiques and independent retailers and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North East towns have seen a wave of independent businesses taking on vacant units, and fit-outs here often start with bringing a tired shell back into usable condition.
What does the work include?
- Electrical connection and timers
- Fascia panels and trays
- Built-up and illuminated letters
- Projecting and hanging signs
What approvals might you need in Tyne and Wear?
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.
- Conservation areas often restrict internally lit box signs.
- Signs over the pavement must have a safe clearance above the footway.
