Your guide to starting a business

Shop & Site

Location

We can help you find the perfect location or simply evaluate your proposed premises. Additional costs can be incurred if your location is, for example, installed over several floors or is above a cellar. The additional building works required to install extra piping or a concrete plinth will increase your start-up costs.

3-phase electricity supply

All dry cleaning, Wet Cleaning and industrial laundry machinery work on a 3-phase electricity supply. Try to ensure that your new premises has this level of supply already available. If not, we can help you through the application process to have it installed. However, we do recommend that a quote is obtained BEFORE you sign or take out a lease or freehold.

Floor construction

All dry cleaning machines and large industrial equipment need solid flooring to ensure they are fixed down well. We recommend that our customers seriously consider the flooring in their new premises as it can be a huge issue if the floor is just floor boards or is above a cellar. Solid concrete bases are required, or at the very least, the ability to install one. We can advise you on this element before you sign any leases.

Shop access

As is the case with many high streets, towns and cities these days, parking can be a real issue. However there are two elements that we encourage our clients to consider when choosing a site. Firstly, machine access. The machines that will be installed will be quite large and if access is restricted due to parking restrictions or physical barriers, this will have implications to your shop installation. Secondly, customer parking. Easy drop off and collection access will make your shop convenient and highly attractive to customers, which will possibly give you an edge over competitors. Viewing the site at different times of the day will give you a good insight into the level of passing traffic and ease of parking.

Machinery layout

Our vast experience in the industry will ensure your shop will not only have the right equipment for your business, but that the equipment is placed in such a way to maximise work flows. Our highly experienced sales team will be able to provide you with a full CAD drawing which will help you to visualise how your finished shop will look and work. These drawings can be shared with your construction team and can provide the blueprint for any building work being carried out.

Delivery & installation

Delivery and installation of your machinery could cost anywhere between £2,500 - £6,000 (for a typical new outlet), depending on the location and the amount of equipment being installed.

Retail space

Visual impact is a huge element to your business and is something we can help you with. This can start from the exterior and branding of your business to the customer-facing shop section to your premises.
