How do we plan the job?

In and around Hastings we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.

- Partitions, drylining and ceilings

What should Hastings owners check first?
- Shopfitting inside a trading centre often has to run out of hours, so ask for a night-work price early.
- 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.
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.
