Convenience store and supermarket fit-out contractors in Merseyside

Our convenience store and supermarket fit-out team works across Merseyside and the wider North West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport.

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.

Working in Merseyside

Most enquiries we get from Merseyside come from convenience stores and off-licences or shopping centre units and retail park stores, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.

North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.

What does the work include?

  • Chiller and freezer positions with dedicated power
  • Counter with tobacco gantry and lottery space
  • CCTV, intruder alarm and security shutters
  • Anti-slip commercial flooring

Planning and building control in Merseyside

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.

  • Your premises licence plan may need updating if the alcohol display area changes.
  • Tobacco and vapes must be stored out of sight of customers, so the gantry needs closing doors or shutters.
