What is shopfitting like in Gloucestershire?
In Gloucestershire we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Fire-rated and acoustic walls
- Drylining of existing walls
- Access hatches and making good
- Grid ceilings with lay-in tiles
