Retail shopfitting for Ely businesses
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Ely use our retail shopfitting service to get one contract, one programme and one point of contact.
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 Ely lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Ely we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and pharmacies and healthcare premises.

- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings

What should Ely 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 Ely
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.
Is the survey free in Ely?
Yes. We survey units in Ely and across Cambridgeshire free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Ely?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
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.
