Retail Refurbishments
Refurbishment services for existing shops and retail units across Bury and Greater Manchester, with the scope based on the premises and proposed changes.
A retail refurbishment can bring together several types of improvement work within an existing shop or retail unit. The project may involve the layout, fittings, finishes or alterations to other elements of the premises, with the required scope depending on the existing unit and what is being changed.
Retail refurbishment is intended for work centred on an existing retail unit rather than a general commercial project with no defined retail focus. Some projects may involve a straightforward set of improvements, while others may combine changes to the layout with updates to finishes, fittings or walls.
If the work forms one part of a broader project across the premises, the Retail Refurbishments service can sit alongside the wider Commercial Refurbishments service or related alteration work where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What work can form part of a retail refurbishment?
- Retail refurbishment can involve changes to the layout, fittings and finishes, alterations to walls and other building work within an existing shop or retail unit, depending on the proposed scope.
- Does a retail refurbishment have to involve the whole unit?
- No. The project can cover selected parts of an existing retail unit or involve a wider range of changes across the premises.
- Can different types of work be combined within one retail refurbishment?
- Yes. Where relevant to the proposed project, layout changes, fitting and finish updates and alteration work can form parts of the same refurbishment scope.
- When would Commercial Refurbishments be more relevant?
- Commercial Refurbishments is the broader service where the proposed project extends beyond a retail-focused refurbishment or covers a wider range of work across commercial premises.
- Can structural or internal alteration work be related to a retail refurbishment?
- Yes, where those changes form part of the proposed project. Structural Alterations and Internal Alterations are separate published services and can be considered where their scope is relevant.
- Will permission or approval requirements be the same for every retail refurbishment?
- No. Any requirements depend on the work being proposed and the specific premises, so they need to be considered against the individual project rather than assumed to be the same for every refurbishment.
- Can retail refurbishment form part of a wider commercial project?
- Yes. A defined retail refurbishment can form one part of a broader Commercial Refurbishment where the overall project includes work beyond the retail unit refurbishment itself.
