Retail shopfitting contractors in Gateshead
We carry out retail shopfitting in Gateshead and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear, 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 Gateshead lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Gateshead we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and boutiques and independent retailers.
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 Gateshead 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 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.
