WHY PICASSA SHOPFITTERS
Commercial spaces renewed with purpose
Considered Retention & Reuse
We carefully assess what can be retained, repaired, refinished, or adapted, directing the available investment towards the improvements that will create the greatest impact.
Carefully Phased Delivery
Works are planned around access, operating hours, staff requirements, and customer areas to help minimise disruption and reduce unnecessary commercial downtime.
Coordinated Finishing Details
Colours, flooring, lighting, fixtures, joinery, and decorative finishes are coordinated to ensure that retained and upgraded elements form one cohesive commercial interior.
THE COSMETIC UPGRADE PROCESS
From existing interior to refreshed environment
01. Condition Survey & Project Brief
We assess the existing premises, finishes, fixtures, lighting, flooring, joinery, and customer-facing areas. This identifies what can be retained, repaired, refinished, adapted, or replaced.
02. Priorities & Upgrade Strategy
The proposed improvements are prioritised according to visual impact, operational need, available budget, and the closure or working period available. This creates a focused scope without introducing unnecessary construction.
03. Design & Finish Selection
Colours, flooring, lighting, decorative treatments, joinery finishes, and customer-facing details are selected to complement the retained interior and strengthen the commercial identity of the space.
04. Programme & Phasing
We plan the sequence of works around access, operating hours, staff requirements, neighbouring businesses, and areas that must remain protected or operational.
05. Refurbishment Works
Decoration, surface preparation, flooring replacement, lighting improvements, joinery alterations, fixture upgrades, and other agreed works are delivered through a coordinated site programme.
06. Completion & Reopening
Final inspections, detailed snagging, cleaning, and finishing checks ensure that the upgraded areas are complete, visually consistent, and ready for continued commercial use.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
What to know before starting.
Retain, Repair, or Replace
Not every existing element needs to be removed. Reviewing the condition and suitability of current fixtures, counters, flooring, lighting, and joinery helps direct the available investment towards the improvements that will create the greatest benefit.
Trading & Disruption
Operating hours, customer access, staff movement, noise restrictions, and health-and-safety requirements can influence how the work is delivered. Early planning helps minimise downtime and protect unaffected areas.
Budget & Visual Impact
A cosmetic upgrade should focus on the details that customers notice most. Entrances, counters, lighting, flooring, wall finishes, displays, and primary customer areas are carefully prioritised to achieve a meaningful transformation within the available budget.
