Fashion and boutique fit-out contractors in Cumbria
Our fashion and boutique fit-out team works across Cumbria and the wider North West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Kendal, Barrow-in-Furness, Workington.
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.
Working in Cumbria
In Cumbria we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
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?
- High colour-rendering track and feature lighting
- Cash desk with wrap and storage
- Window display plinths and backdrops
- Stockroom racking
Planning and building control in Cumbria
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.
