FAQ

Common
Questions.

Can you work while adjacent units remain trading?

Yes — managing works around live retail and trading environments is a core capability. We establish full hoarding, dust suppression and noise management, and programme works to minimise impact on trading hours.

Do you offer out-of-hours working?

Yes — night-time, weekend and bank holiday working is available for retail and hospitality programmes where daytime access is restricted or adjacent trading must be maintained.

How quickly can you mobilise for a retail strip out?

We own our own plant and have directly employed strip out teams available at short notice. We can typically mobilise within a week for planned works and faster for urgent programmes.

What happens to shopfitting and fixtures?

All metals, timber, glass and M&E components are segregated for recycling. We divert 96%+ from landfill and provide full Waste Transfer Notes on every project.

Is a site survey free?

Yes — all surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation. Fixed-price quotation within 24 hours.
