Retail shopfitting contractors in Gloucestershire
Our retail shopfitting team works across Gloucestershire and the wider South West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Cheltenham.
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.
Local projects in Gloucestershire
In Gloucestershire we mostly see cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and shopping centre units and retail park stores. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
What approvals might you need in Gloucestershire?
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.
- 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.
Questions about retail shopfitting in Gloucestershire
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.
Do you cover Tewkesbury and the rest of Gloucestershire?
Yes. We carry out retail shopfitting in Tewkesbury, Gloucester and across Gloucestershire. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Gloucestershire?
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.
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.
