What is shopfitting like in Isle of Wight?
In Isle of Wight we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and salons, barbers and beauty clinics. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Drylining of existing walls
- Access hatches and making good
- Grid ceilings with lay-in tiles
- Plasterboard ceilings and bulkheads
