Commercial Butchers Fit-Out in March, Cambridgeshire
Meat Prep Room Build and Internal Fit-Out
This project involved building out an additional meat preparation room within an existing, fully operational butchers in March, Cambridgeshire. The aim was to create a clean, practical food prep space that could be used alongside the existing shop. So, we planned and delivered the full internal fit-out carefully around the live working environment throughout.
Working Within a Live Business
Carrying out a commercial fit-out in a working butchers meant everything needed to be carefully sequenced. The business had to keep running, so disruption had to stay minimal at every stage.
We worked around the existing setup throughout and planned each phase so the shop could continue operating as normal. This is something we do regularly on commercial internal fit-out projects. Live environment work requires a different level of planning and discipline, and we are used to delivering it.
Stud Wall Formation and Layout
First, we formed new stud walls inside the original brick structure. This created a clearly defined meat prep room without altering the overall layout of the building.
Next, we built steps into the second section of the building to create safe and practical access between levels. Then, we installed a new door lining to form a solid entrance into the prep room. As a result, the new space tied neatly into the existing structure from both a practical and visual perspective.
Wall Build-Up & Preparation
Once the framework was complete, we clad the stud walls with 11mm OSB board. This provides a strong, stable foundation and is an important stage in any food prep room fit-out. The OSB boarding creates a solid base for the hygiene wall finish and ensures the final cladding performs properly over time.
Hygiene Wall Cladding Installation
We finished the prep room with white hygiene wall cladding throughout. This creates a clean, durable surface that is easy to maintain and suited to everyday use in a working food preparation environment.
Hygiene wall installation transforms the space from a basic internal build into a fully functional prep room that meets the practical demands of a commercial food business. The finish is smooth, seamless and simple to clean down at the end of each working day.
Planning a Commercial Fit Out Project in Cambridgeshire?
Projects like this combine structural build work with practical interior fit-out in a way that needs careful planning from the start. We work on a range of commercial fit-out projects across Cambridgeshire, from prep room builds to wider shop and business fit-outs.
