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 Southampton, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Southampton we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and showrooms and trade counters.
What is included?
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
What should Southampton 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 Southampton

How soon can work start in Southampton?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
Can you work around our existing shop while it trades?
