Retail shopfitting for Bedford businesses

Need retail shopfitting in Bedford? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.

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.

Guide price for Bedford£300–£650per m², ex VAT. Fixed after a free survey.

How is the work priced?

For Bedford jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.

In and around Bedford we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and pharmacies and healthcare premises.

What is included?

  • Partitions, drylining and ceilings
  • Lighting, power and data first fix
  • Display walls, gondolas and counters
  • Flooring, decorating and final clean
  • Measured survey and floor plan

What should Bedford owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Shopfitting inside a trading centre often has to run out of hours, so ask for a night-work price early.

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.

Questions about retail shopfitting in Bedford

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.

Is the survey free in Bedford?

Yes. We survey units in Bedford and across Bedfordshire free of charge, with no obligation.

How soon can work start in Bedford?

Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.

Can you work around our existing shop while it trades?

Yes. We phase the work, screen off live areas and do the noisy and dusty trades out of hours so the shop can keep taking money.
