Retail shopfitting for Poole businesses
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our retail shopfitting work in Poole is planned around your lease, your landlord and your trading hours.
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.
What happens at the survey?
Before we price retail shopfitting in Poole, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Poole we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
What should Poole 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 Poole
How soon can work start in Poole?
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.
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 Poole?
Yes. We survey units in Poole and across Dorset free of charge, with no obligation.
