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 is the work priced?
Before we price retail shopfitting in Dalkeith, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Dalkeith we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
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 Dalkeith 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 Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
Questions about retail shopfitting in Dalkeith
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.
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 Dalkeith?
Yes. We survey units in Dalkeith and across Lothian free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Dalkeith?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
