High-quality, fully managed design & build across Cheshire — Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Warrington. Fully managed design & build across Cheshire and the wider North West.
A significant structural renovation of our downstairs — removing internal walls to create a large open-plan living space, a new downstairs WC, new flooring throughout, a brand-new kitchen and patio doors. The quality of workmanship has been outstanding and the project was completed within the agreed timescales. Any minor snags were dealt with promptly, often almost immediately.
We started 2025 with a 2-storey chimney being taken out. The lads did such a good job we gave them the rest of our renovation — two small extensions, a new downstairs toilet and kitchen, upstairs bathroom, a bedroom move and renovation, finishing with a full back garden renovation. We've had many comments on how good the work looks, especially the brickwork.
We've recently had a knock-through between the lounge and dining room along with other internal and brick work. We're extremely pleased with the quality — everything finished to a high standard, the team were professional, tidy and clearly took pride in what they were doing. Communication with Craig was great throughout and they stuck to the agreed timeline.
After getting a few quotes for our kitchen, we chose Cheshire Design & Build NW and I'm glad we did. They turned up when they said they would, kept us updated, and got on with the job without any fuss. The finished kitchen looks fantastic. Reliable, respectful, and they clearly take pride in their work.
Excellent. Craig replied immediately and viewed the job. A detailed price and timeline was sent. Once the job was underway problems occurred — not Craig's fault — new plans were made and the job was done. Communication was 100%, that's important for me, and a cleaner is sent in at the end of the work. A great job done. Would definitely recommend.
Brilliant company, amazing team. Came to fit a lintel for me and brick up the outside of the house. The job was finished quickly and efficiently — very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much, highly recommend.
This company has been the best to work with in terms of professionalism and quality — not like other companies I have worked with in the past. 10/10 service 👍
Highly recommend! Craig was very reliable and the quality of workmanship was outstanding! Thank you!
Great lads, very polite, showed up on time and did a great job.

Contractor discipline for commercial clients
Commercial fit-out clients don't need an enthusiastic amateur. They need a contractor who turns up with RAMS in hand, who keeps the landlord's surveyor in the loop, who doesn't blow the programme with late deliveries, and who hands back a building ready to trade from day one.
We've delivered fit-outs for solicitors, dentists, aesthetics clinics, independent retailers, cafés and gyms across Cheshire. The interior finish standard is the same we apply to our residential work — because the tenant, the brand and the customer all notice the same details.
A complete commercial contractor
From dilapidations strip-out to handover inspection. Partitions, M&E, joinery, flooring, shopfronts and access — delivered under one programme with one point of contact.
- Strip-Out & Dilapidations — Full strip-out of existing fit-out, plus end-of-lease reinstatement back to schedule of condition.
- Partitioning & Ceilings — Studwork, demountable glass, and suspended grid or plasterboard ceilings to fit any office layout.
- Commercial M&E — DB installations, sub-metering, data cabling, emergency lighting, AC and mechanical ventilation.
- Joinery & Bespoke Furniture — Reception desks, wall-panelled boardrooms, café counters and retail shopfitting — all made to order.
- Flooring Systems — Commercial-grade vinyl, carpet tiles, poured resin and large-format porcelain on access floor grids.
- Glass & Shopfronts — Internal glazed partitions, shopfronts, automatic entrance doors and frameless glass balustrades.
- Accessibility — Part M compliant ramps, platform lifts and accessible WCs designed into the fit-out rather than retrofitted.
- Phased Programme — Out-of-hours and weekend working for live retail or hospitality sites that can't close during the works.
Sectors we fit out
Every commercial sector has its own rules, finishes and pressures. We run dedicated fit-out programmes for each — all under the same design-to-build team.
- Office fit-out — Cat A landlord base-build and Cat B occupier fit-out, partitioning, M&E and breakout spaces.
- Retail fit-out — shopfronts, retail interiors and re-brands, delivered to live-trading stores where needed.
- Hospitality fit-out — cafés, bars and restaurants, including commercial kitchens, bars and front-of-house.
- Light industrial fit-out — unit alterations, mezzanine floors, office pods and trade counters.
Built for commercial and framework work
Commercial clients and main contractors expect more than a clean finish — they expect a contractor who works to process. We do, and we're building towards framework and repeat-contract work.
- CDM-compliant — we work to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations on every commercial project.
- RAMS — risk assessments and method statements issued before work starts on site.
- Programme control — a clear programme, regular progress reporting and a single point of contact throughout.
- Quality assurance — QA procedures during the works and full handover documentation on completion.
- Tender & PQQ ready — we can respond to tenders and pre-qualification questionnaires for framework and repeat-contract opportunities.
Fully insured for commercial sites — public liability, employers' liability and professional indemnity cover in place, with certificates available to landlords and insurers on request.

Commercial Fit-Out FAQs
What kinds of commercial projects do you take on?
Offices, solicitors, dental and aesthetics clinics, retail stores, cafés and restaurant fit-outs, gym and studio spaces, and small-to-mid hotel and HMO conversions. Every project is individually scoped and quoted after a site visit.
Can the fit-out happen while we're still trading?
Yes — we regularly run phased fit-outs and out-of-hours programmes for retail and hospitality clients who can't close. We'll agree a detailed schedule, dust-containment strategy and noise windows at the pre-start meeting.
Do you handle the landlord and licence-to-alter process?
Yes — we liaise with your landlord's surveyor on the licence-to-alter, supply method statements and RAMS, and reinstate to the lease's schedule of condition at the end if required.
Are you fully insured for commercial sites?
Yes — we're fully insured, with public liability, employers' liability and professional indemnity cover in place. Individual certificates are available on request for landlords or insurers.
Do you do M&E as part of the package?
Yes — commercial-grade electrical installations (including EICRs, new DBs and emergency lighting), data cabling, HVAC and gas where applicable. All notifiable work signed off by our NICEIC and Gas Safe registered engineers.
Can you design as well as build?
Yes — for interiors we can produce the layout, finishes and brand-led visuals in-house. For more complex projects we work alongside your appointed architect or interior designer.
