Retail & Commercial Sector

Marshdale Construction Ltd is an established and decorated Tier 2 contractor with a strong track record in the retail and commercial marketplace. We provide complete design and build solutions, delivering every discipline in-house — from general construction and specialist fit-out through to advanced technology integration. Our approach combines precision, innovation, and flexibility, enabling us to support clients across a wide range of retail and commercial environments throughout the UK and overseas.

We deliver projects across the high street and within sector environments where retail facilities are embedded, such as hospitals, airports and railway stations.

• Bespoke shopfitting — in-house manufacture of custom counters, shelving, display systems and furniture aligned to brand requirements.
• Glazed facades & finishes — full-height glazing systems, specialist flooring, plastering, and complete redecoration.
