Before work starts: lease, planning and compliance

If you rent your premises, your landlord will usually need to approve alterations through a licence for alterations. Get that in place early, because it often takes longer than the build itself.

Many changes between shop, office and clinic uses fall within Use Class E and may not need planning permission, but confirm with the local authority. Fit-outs must also respect fire safety rules, accessibility requirements and Building Regulations where the work is notifiable.

Working around a trading business

We phase the work in zones and agree working hours with you and your landlord. Noisy or dusty stages can be run out of hours or overnight where the lease and local authority permit it. Protection, signage and clean-up are planned before we start.

What we deliver

  • Partitions, ceilings, flooring and wall finishes.
  • Joinery, counters, shopfronts and fixtures.
  • Coordination of electrical, lighting, data, plumbing and ventilation trades.
  • Decoration, snagging and handover with the completion documents for the agreed scope.
