Convenience store and supermarket fit-out in Kent
Businesses across Kent use us for convenience store and supermarket fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Margate, Chatham, Maidstone.
A convenience store fit-out lays out shelving, refrigeration, counters and security so a small footprint can carry a wide range and be run by one or two staff.
What is shopfitting like in Kent?
Most enquiries we get from Kent come from convenience stores and off-licences or showrooms and trade counters, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
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?
- CCTV, intruder alarm and security shutters
- Anti-slip commercial flooring
- Signage and price-ticket rails
- Gondola and wall shelving runs

Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
