SCRIBBLER SHOPFITTING PROJECT – FULL STORE REFIT IN SOHO

CHALLENGES AND APPROACH FOR THE Scribbler Project

This project involved a full retail refit for Scribbler at their Wardour Street store in the heart of Soho. The brief was to deliver a complete transformation aligned with Scribbler’s latest store specification, while working within a tight programme and a high-footfall central London location.

Our approach focused on detailed planning, off-site manufacture of bespoke elements, and a carefully managed on-site installation to minimise disruption. By coordinating trades efficiently and sequencing works precisely, we were able to deliver a high-quality finish within a compressed timeframe.

Scope of Work

The scope of works covered a full strip-out and refit, incorporating architectural changes, bespoke joinery, and a complete services upgrade to meet Scribbler’s new store specification.

All bespoke elements were manufactured off-site to ensure quality control and reduce on-site installation time.

  • Full strip-out and preparation

  • Bespoke joinery and custom-built retail units

  • New commercial flooring installation

  • Construction of a new architectural arch feature

  • Full decoration throughout

  • Complete electrical re-wire and new lighting installation

  • Installation of new Scribbler-branded finishes and fixtures

Challenges and Solutions

Working on Wardour Street presented typical Soho challenges, including restricted access, delivery constraints, and the need to maintain a tight programme. Off-site manufacture played a key role in overcoming these limitations, allowing the majority of joinery and fittings to arrive ready for installation.

Close coordination between trades ensured that decoration, flooring, electrical works, and joinery installation progressed smoothly without delays. The result was a seamless transformation delivered to a high standard within the agreed timeframe.

Results & Impact

The completed store delivers a bold, modern retail space that reflects Scribbler’s brand identity and enhances the customer experience. The new layout improves circulation and product visibility, while bespoke units and architectural features add character and visual impact.

The project was delivered efficiently, on programme, and to specification — providing Scribbler with a refreshed Soho flagship ready for trading.
