Retail shopfitting contractors in Musselburgh
We carry out retail shopfitting in Musselburgh 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.
How do we plan the job?
For Musselburgh jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Musselburgh we are usually asked to work on boutiques and independent retailers and showrooms and trade counters.
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 Musselburgh 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 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 Musselburgh
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 Musselburgh?
Yes. We survey units in Musselburgh and across Lothian free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Musselburgh?
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.
