Pop Up Shops

Retail Spaces Built to Turn Heads

A pop-up shop has one job: stop people in their tracks. Whether it’s a two-day activation in a shopping centre, a month-long store on the high street or a touring retail space, we design, build and install pop-ups that get you noticed and get customers through the door.

Design & Fabrication

Bring us a finished design or a rough idea. Our project managers will give you a technical steer on construction, materials and finishes, and then our workshop team gets to work. Counters, shelving, feature walls, changing areas, display plinths if your pop-up needs it, we can build it.

Print & Branding

We produce over 95% of our large-format print in-house, so your branding is handled by the same team that builds your shop. Printed wall graphics, window vinyls, signage, branded flooring it all comes together in one place, and it all matches.

Installation & De-rig

Retail installs rarely come with generous timescales. Our crew are used to overnight builds, tight loading windows and shopping centre rules. Your ESS project manager runs the whole thing on site, and we don’t leave until you’re happy. When the pop-up ends, we handle the de-rig too.

Built to Travel

Planning a pop-up tour? We can design your shop as a modular kit that packs down, transports safely and rebuilds quickly at each location. It’s a smart way to stretch your budget across multiple venues without compromising on quality. Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll help you make it happen.

One Team, One Standard Process

With design, fabrication, printing and installation managed in-house, communication stays simple, and projects run efficiently. You, too, remain confident as you get one experienced team overseeing every stage, maintaining quality from concept to completion.

How long does it take to build a pop up shop?2026-07-16T21:09:47+00:00

It depends on the size and complexity, but most pop ups take two to four weeks from sign-off to installation. If your timescale is tighter than that, talk to us anyway — fast turnarounds are something we’re known for.

Can you install in shopping centres?2026-07-16T21:11:01+00:00

Yes. We regularly work within shopping centre rules — overnight installs, restricted loading times, health and safety documentation and liaison with centre management are all part of the job.

Do you handle the graphics and signage as well?2026-07-16T21:12:59+00:00

We do. Over 95% of our large format print is produced at our own premises, so wall graphics, window vinyls, signage and branded flooring are all handled in-house alongside the build.

Can a pop up shop be reused?2026-07-16T21:13:45+00:00

Absolutely. We can design your pop up as a modular structure that packs down and rebuilds at multiple locations — ideal for retail tours or seasonal campaigns.

Do you offer design help, or do we need to bring a finished design?2026-07-16T21:14:16+00:00

Either. Some clients arrive with full CAD drawings, others with a sketch on a napkin. Our project managers can provide design assistance and a technical steer on construction wherever you need it.

Where do you work?2026-07-16T21:14:44+00:00

We’re based in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, and work across London, the South East and nationwide. We’ve also delivered builds for international venues.

What happens when the pop up ends?2026-07-16T21:15:27+00:00

We handle the de-rig and removal. If the structure is being reused, we can store or transport it ready for the next location.

Can you work to a fixed budget?2026-07-16T21:16:01+00:00

Yes — tell us your budget from the start, and we’ll design and build to it. Because print, joinery and finishing are all in-house, we have far more control over costs than companies relying on sub-contractors.
