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.

Entire Building Services refurbishes existing customer-facing shops and retail units in Bury and Greater Manchester. Work can include changes to layouts, fittings, finishes, walls and other related parts of the premises.

This service is focused on the parts of a retail premises used to present, arrange and support the customer-facing space. The agreed scope may cover a selected area or a wider set of changes across the existing shop or unit.

Where the project extends beyond the retail space or includes a broader programme of work across the premises, the Commercial Refurbishments service provides the wider route. Partition, wall and layout reconfiguration can also be considered under Commercial Internal Alterations where that is the main purpose of the work.

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 available 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.
