In and around Reading we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and shopping centre units and retail park stores.

What should Reading owners check first?

Reusing sound fixtures can take a large slice off the cost.
Older units may contain asbestos; a refurbishment survey is needed before strip-out.
Switching to LED lighting cuts running costs and heat load.

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.
