Local projects in Greater London
Most enquiries we get from Greater London come from shopping centre units and retail park stores or salons, barbers and beauty clinics, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
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?
- Wall cladding and coved flooring
- Delivery driver collection point
- Waste and grease management
- Serving counter with display and hot holding
