Retail shopfitting for Kelso businesses
We carry out retail shopfitting in Kelso and the surrounding parts of the Scottish Borders, 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?
Every retail shopfitting quote for Kelso lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Kelso we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.
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 Kelso 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 Kelso
Is the survey free in Kelso?
Yes. We survey units in Kelso and across the Scottish Borders free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Kelso?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
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.
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.
