Retail shopfitting contractors in County Londonderry
Businesses across County Londonderry use us for retail shopfitting because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Derry, Coleraine, Limavady.
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.
Working in County Londonderry
In County Londonderry we mostly see high street units and corner shops and boutiques and independent retailers. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Northern Ireland's city centres and county towns have a strong independent retail and hospitality sector, and fit-outs follow Northern Ireland's own building regulations and planning system.
What does the work include?
- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
Planning and building control in County Londonderry
In Northern Ireland, fit-out work is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) and approved by the district council's building control team. New shopfronts and illuminated signs are checked by the council's planning department.
- 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.
Questions about retail shopfitting in County Londonderry
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.
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.

Yes. We carry out retail shopfitting in Derry, Coleraine and across County Londonderry. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
