Retail shopfitting contractors in Aberdeen
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our retail shopfitting work in Aberdeen is planned around your lease, your landlord and your trading hours.
Retail shopfitting is the design, manufacture and installation of everything inside a shop that lets it trade: walls, ceilings, lighting, flooring, display fixtures, counters, fitting rooms and the services behind them.
How is the work priced?
The survey for retail shopfitting in Aberdeen covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Aberdeen we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and high street units and corner shops.
What is included?
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
What should Aberdeen owners check first?
- Shopfitting inside a trading centre often has to run out of hours, so ask for a night-work price early.
- Fire alarm, emergency lighting and escape signage must be commissioned and certified before you open.
- Landlord consent and the lease's fit-out guide usually need sign-off before work starts.
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
Questions about retail shopfitting in Aberdeen
How soon can work start in Aberdeen?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
Do you provide the design as well as the build?
We produce a layout and elevations with you, then build from them. If you already have a designer or brand guidelines, we work to those instead.
How long does a retail fit-out take?
A small unit of 50–100 m² usually takes two to four weeks on site once drawings and landlord consent are agreed. Larger stores or jobs with a new shopfront run longer. We give you a dated programme with the quote.
Is the survey free in Aberdeen?
Yes. We survey units in Aberdeen and across Aberdeenshire free of charge, with no obligation.
