Shop Refurbishment, Inside & Out Watford
Project overview
The well-known Ebb Tide fish and chip shop on Market Street in Watford had closed down, and our team completely renovated it, inside and out, for its new life as Taberna PT café bar and restaurant. Outside, we stripped away the old paint, filled and sanded the shopfront, then applied two coats of primer and undercoat followed by two coats of a matt finish. Inside, we stripped the shop right back to the bare bones, put up new drywall, carried out a full rewire, plastered the ceilings and walls, laid new flooring, updated the toilets and redecorated throughout.
