Shop refurbishment and refit contractors in Greater London
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Greater London, our shop refurbishment and refit service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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.
What is shopfitting like in Greater London?
In Greater London we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises 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.
London shopfitting is dominated by tight access, loading restrictions and landlord fit-out rules in shopping centres and parades, so night deliveries and careful logistics planning are part of almost every job.
What does the work include?
- Lighting upgrade to LED
- Replacement fixtures and counters
- Flooring replacement
- Condition survey of the existing fit-out
Planning and building control in Greater London
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.
- Older units may contain asbestos; a refurbishment survey is needed before strip-out.
- Switching to LED lighting cuts running costs and heat load.
