Retail shopfitting in Brighton
Planning retail shopfitting in Brighton? Start with a free survey; we check services, access and approvals, then price the job line by line.
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 Brighton, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Brighton we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and salons, barbers and beauty clinics.
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 Brighton 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 Brighton
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 Brighton?
Yes. We survey units in Brighton and across East Sussex free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Brighton?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
