Retail shopfitting contractors in Portsmouth
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our retail shopfitting work in Portsmouth 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.
How do we plan the job?
Before we price retail shopfitting in Portsmouth, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Portsmouth we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and high street units and corner shops.
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 Portsmouth 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.
