Fashion and boutique fit-out across Isle of Wight
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Isle of Wight, our fashion and boutique fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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 Isle of Wight
In Isle of Wight we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and boutiques and independent retailers. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
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?
- Stockroom racking
- Wall-mounted and freestanding rail systems
- Fitting rooms with doors or curtains, mirrors and hooks
- High colour-rendering track and feature lighting
Planning and building control in Isle of Wight
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.
