Retail shopfitting contractors in Cardiff
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Cardiff use our retail shopfitting service to get one contract, one programme and one point of contact.
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 Cardiff jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Cardiff we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
- Lighting, power and data first fix
- Display walls, gondolas and counters
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
What should Cardiff 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 Wales, the Building Regulations are set by the Welsh Government and applied by local authority building control. Shopfronts, signs and extraction flues need checking with the local planning authority, and many Welsh towns have conservation areas with stricter rules on shopfront design.
Questions about retail shopfitting in Cardiff
How soon can work start in Cardiff?
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.
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 Cardiff?
Yes. We survey units in Cardiff and across South Glamorgan free of charge, with no obligation.
