What is shopfitting like in Bedfordshire?

Most enquiries we get from Bedfordshire come from boutiques and independent retailers or pharmacies and healthcare premises, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.

The East of England mixes historic market towns with new town centres and retail parks, which means a shopfitter here is as likely to work on a listed frontage as on a modern shell unit.

What does the work include?

  • Replacement fixtures and counters
  • Flooring replacement
  • Condition survey of the existing fit-out
  • Strip-out and waste removal

What approvals might you need in Bedfordshire?

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.

  • Reusing sound fixtures can take a large slice off the cost.
  • Older units may contain asbestos; a refurbishment survey is needed before strip-out.
