Retail shopfitting contractors in Edinburgh
We carry out retail shopfitting in Edinburgh and the surrounding parts of Lothian, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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?
For Edinburgh jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Edinburgh we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
What should Edinburgh 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 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 Edinburgh
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.
Is the survey free in Edinburgh?
Yes. We survey units in Edinburgh and across Lothian free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Edinburgh?
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?
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.
