Retail shopfitting contractors in Tayside
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Tayside, our retail shopfitting service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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 is shopfitting like in Tayside?
In Tayside we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics 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 East Scotland's cities and coastal towns have a steady demand for refits of older granite and stone shop units.
What does the work include?
- Flooring, decorating and final clean
- Measured survey and floor plan
- Strip-out and making good
- Partitions, drylining and ceilings
Planning and building control in Tayside
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.
- 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.
Questions about retail shopfitting in Tayside
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 Forfar and the rest of Tayside?
Yes. We carry out retail shopfitting in Forfar, Dundee and across Tayside. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Tayside?
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.
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.
