Hospitality and retail
Hospitality and retailfit-out that opens on time.
Bars, restaurants, hotels, cafés, shops and showrooms, fitted out with bespoke joinery built for daily trade.
Customers notice the bar, the booth they sit in and the counter they pay at. It all has to be ready by opening day, within budget, and made to survive spilled drinks, busy weekends and constant cleaning.
Who it's for
- Independent restaurants, cafés and bars
- Hotels and guesthouses: receptions, lounges, bars and bedrooms
- Shops, boutiques and showrooms
- Salons, clinics and leisure venues
- Brands rolling out across several sites
We design, make and install hospitality and retail interiors with trading in mind. Bars, back-bars, banquettes, counters and display units are made in our Downpatrick workshop, so we control the quality and the timing, and we can phase installation around your opening or trading hours.
What we deliver
Bars and back-bars
The centrepiece of most venues, designed around service flow and built to last.
Fixed seating and banquettes
Comfortable, durable seating that makes the most of the floor space.
Hotel interiors
Front-of-house and bedroom joinery that sets the standard for the stay.
Shopfitting
Retail interiors that show products at their best and guide customers through the store.
Cafés and counters
Counters, servery units and seating for high-turnover spaces.
Roll-outs and refits
Consistent quality across new sites and refreshes of existing ones.
Materials chosen for heavy use
A bar top has to cope with spills, a banquette with thousands of covers a year, and a shop counter with constant contact. We specify materials and finishes for commercial use and build in practical details such as removable panels for cleaning and access to services.
- Commercial-grade laminates, veneers and solid surfaces
- Fire-rated boards and finishes where required
- Hard-wearing commercial upholstery
From plans to opening night

Hospitality and retail questions
Can you work to a fixed opening date?
Yes. Hospitality and retail projects are planned backwards from the opening date. Because our joinery is made in our own workshop, we can manufacture bars, counters and seating while the site is being prepared, which shortens the time on site.
Do you fit out hotels and bars as well as shops?
We work across hospitality and retail: hotels, restaurants, bars, cafés, shops, showrooms and salons. The common thread is joinery and finishes that look good on day one and stand up to heavy daily use.
Can you roll out a design across several sites?
Yes. Once a design is agreed, we can produce consistent joinery packages for multiple sites across Northern Ireland and Ireland, with each one installed to the same standard.
Do you use fire-rated and commercial-grade materials?
We specify materials suited to commercial use, including fire-rated boards and finishes where required by building control, hard-wearing laminates and commercial upholstery fabrics. Certification details available on request.
Can you work overnight or while we are trading?
Where a venue needs to keep trading, we plan work in phases and carry it out overnight or between services, leaving the space clean and safe each morning.
