Local projects in Northumberland
In Northumberland 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.
North East towns have seen a wave of independent businesses taking on vacant units, and fit-outs here often start with bringing a tired shell back into usable condition.

- Access hatches and making good
- Grid ceilings with lay-in tiles

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.
