Shop refurbishment and refit across Cheshire
Our shop refurbishment and refit team works across Cheshire and the wider North West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Widnes, Chester, Warrington.
A shop refurbishment updates an existing unit: new finishes, lighting, fixtures and layout, from a light refresh while you trade to a full strip-out and refit.
Working in Cheshire
In Cheshire we mostly see high street units and corner shops and convenience stores and off-licences. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
What does the work include?
- Replacement fixtures and counters
- Flooring replacement
- Condition survey of the existing fit-out
- Strip-out and waste removal
Planning and building control in Cheshire
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.
- Switching to LED lighting cuts running costs and heat load.
- Reusing sound fixtures can take a large slice off the cost.
