Typical Merseyside jobs for this service involve high street units and corner shops, as well as showrooms and trade counters. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
