What is shopfitting like in South Glamorgan?
Most enquiries we get from South Glamorgan come from high street units and corner shops or shopping centre units and retail park stores, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
South Wales town centres, from the capital to the valleys, have many older terraced shop units where fit-outs need careful work around existing structure and services.
What does the work include?
- Window display plinths and backdrops
- Stockroom racking
- Wall-mounted and freestanding rail systems
- Fitting rooms with doors or curtains, mirrors and hooks
Planning and building control in South Glamorgan
In Wales, the Building Regulations are set by the Welsh Government and applied by local authority building control. Shopfronts, signs and extraction flues need checking with the local planning authority, and many Welsh towns have conservation areas with stricter rules on shopfront design.
- Lighting with a high colour rendering index costs a little more and makes a visible difference to sales of coloured garments.
- Slatwall and track systems let you re-merchandise seasonally without calling a fitter back.
