Retail shopfitting across Merseyside
We carry out retail shopfitting throughout Merseyside, from St Helens to Southport. Every job starts with a measured survey and ends with a certified, trading-ready 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.
Local projects in Merseyside
In Merseyside we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and shopping centre units and retail park stores. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
What does the work include?
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
Planning and building control in Merseyside
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.
- 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.

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.
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.
Do you cover St Helens and the rest of Merseyside?
Yes. We carry out retail shopfitting in St Helens, Southport and across Merseyside. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
