Retail shopfitting in Reading
We carry out retail shopfitting in Reading and the surrounding parts of Berkshire, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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 do we plan the job?
Every retail shopfitting quote for Reading lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Reading we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and high street units and corner shops.
What is included?
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
What should Reading 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 Reading
How soon can work start in Reading?
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 Reading?
Yes. We survey units in Reading and across Berkshire free of charge, with no obligation.
