Retail fit-out costs in the UK typically range from £70–£150 per sq ft for a standard fit-out to £200+ per sq ft for a premium flagship. We help you establish an accurate budget before going to tender.
How long does a retail fit-out take?
A typical store fit-out takes 6–12 weeks on site, depending on size and complexity. We create a detailed programme and manage it against your opening date.
Can you deliver a consistent concept across multiple stores?
Yes. We specialise in rollout programmes — standardising specifications, managing multiple contractors and maintaining brand consistency across every site.
Can we keep trading during the work?
In many cases yes — through phasing and out-of-hours working. We help plan the programme to protect trading and minimise disruption to customers.
Do you work with our existing brand or design team?
Yes. We can work alongside your existing designers, acting as project manager and procurement specialist, or manage the full design and delivery process if preferred.
