How is the work priced?
Before we price retail shopfitting in Dunstable, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Dunstable we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and pharmacies and healthcare premises.

- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
What should Dunstable owners check first?
- 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.
- Fire alarm, emergency lighting and escape signage must be commissioned and certified before you open.
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 Dunstable

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.

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