Pharmacy fit-out in Cumbria
Businesses across Cumbria use us for pharmacy fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Penrith, Carlisle, Kendal.
A pharmacy fit-out creates the dispensary, a private consultation room, the medicines counter and the retail area, with the security and storage controlled medicines need.
What is shopfitting like in Cumbria?
In Cumbria we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics and showrooms and trade counters. 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?
- Medicines counter with pharmacist sight line
- Controlled drugs cabinet fixing
- Retail shelving and health displays
- Security, CCTV and shutters
