Quick answer
Retail units built before 2000 commonly feature textured coatings on ceilings, AIB in service risers and behind fascias, vinyl floor tiles, and cement roof products. Pre-fit-out Refurbishment Surveys are the most common driver.
Typical scope
Ceilings and voids, walls behind fascias and signage, floor build-up, risers, WCs, back-of-house storage. Fully intrusive for fit-out preparation.
Portfolio programmes
For multi-site retailers, we run rolling portfolio surveys with single-format reporting for consistent estates management.
