Retail shopfitting contractors in London
Need retail shopfitting in London? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.
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.
How do we plan the job?
The survey for retail shopfitting in London covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around London we are usually asked to work on boutiques and independent retailers and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.
What is included?
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
What should London owners check first?
- 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.
- Fire alarm, emergency lighting and escape signage must be commissioned and certified before you open.
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 London
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.
Is the survey free in London?
Yes. We survey units in London and across Greater London free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in London?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
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.
