Pharmacy fit-out contractors in Devon
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Devon, our pharmacy fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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 Devon?
In Devon we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and convenience stores and off-licences. 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?
- Security, CCTV and shutters
- Dispensary benching and drug storage
- Consultation room with sound privacy
- Medicines counter with pharmacist sight line
What approvals might you need in Devon?
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.
- The pharmacist needs a clear view of the medicines counter from the dispensary.
- Controlled drugs cabinets must be fixed securely to the structure.
