Commercial · Shopfitting
Shopfitters in London for retail fit outs and shopfronts.
A shop fit out has a fixed opening date and every day closed costs money. We plan the programme backwards from that date, coordinate every trade and work around your trading hours where the shop stays open.
Shopfitting services
we deliver.
Old fixtures removed and disposed of, walls, ceilings and floors repaired, services checked and the unit made ready for the new layout.
Glazing, doors, signage fixings, security shutters and level entrance thresholds, replaced or repaired.
Serving counters, back fittings, shelving, display units and fitting rooms built and installed.
New circuits, display and feature lighting, emergency lighting, power for tills and screens, and testing by registered electricians.
Hard wearing commercial flooring, ceilings, decoration and wall finishes chosen for footfall.
Stock rooms, staff areas, tea points, kitchens and accessible toilets fitted out to the same standard as the shop floor.

We look at the unit, services, access and the landlord's requirements before pricing.

Strip out, first fix, joinery and finishes, programmed to the opening date.

What a London shop fit out has to get right.
Retail units come with rules that a house refurbishment does not. Getting them right at the start avoids delays when the landlord, Building Control or the council inspect.
Landlord consent
Most retail leases require a licence for alterations. We provide drawings and method statements for the landlord's surveyor and work to their conditions.
Shopfronts and signage
A new shopfront often needs planning permission, and illuminated signs usually need advertisement consent, especially in conservation areas. We check before ordering.
Fire safety and access
Escape routes, emergency lighting, fire rated construction and level access are planned into the layout, so the shop can open on time and safely.
Working in shopping centres and busy streets
Centre management rules, loading bay bookings, permits for skips and scaffolds, and restrictions on noisy work all shape the programme. We agree them before we start, protect neighbouring units and common areas, and keep the hoarding tidy so the brand looks right from day one.
A single point of contact runs the job from strip out to handover, coordinating joiners, electricians, decorators, flooring fitters and shopfront installers so you are not managing trades while running a business. You get a written programme at the start and regular updates against it, so you can plan stock deliveries, staff training and your opening.
Questions we get
asked most.

We prepare the drawings and method statements the landlord needs and work to their licence conditions.
Yes, including commercial kitchens, extraction and gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers.
