Fashion and boutique fit-out in Cornwall
Businesses across Cornwall use us for fashion and boutique fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Newquay, St Austell, Penzance.
A fashion fit-out is a retail fit-out tuned for garments: hanging systems at the right heights, fitting rooms that people are happy to use, and lighting that renders colour accurately.
Local projects in Cornwall
In Cornwall we mostly see high street units and corner shops and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Wall-mounted and freestanding rail systems
- Fitting rooms with doors or curtains, mirrors and hooks
- High colour-rendering track and feature lighting
- Cash desk with wrap and storage
Planning and building control in Cornwall
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.
- Fitting rooms should include at least one accessible cubicle sized for a wheelchair user.
- Lighting with a high colour rendering index costs a little more and makes a visible difference to sales of coloured garments.
