We have Moved! Fisch have moved offices. We now reside at 1 Heritage Business Centre - next door but one to our previous office!

The move went very smoothly under Dean’s guidance, although Steve got a little bit more invo

When beginning a new project, whether it’s a family home or a huge commercial space, it’s crucial to take the time to specify the perfect materials for the job. Often, other elements such as the furniture, lighting and arrangement can take centre stage - but it’s the choice of materials that bring every element of the design together. Selecting the right interior materials is vital, as the colours and textures become the backbone of the project and pull together the final aes

Even in the depths of winter, it’s a challenge we relish - it’s a fantastic opportunity to get to know another town, another high street and another building. That’s what we do. We get to know buildings. So, what is a measured survey? A measured building survey is a detailed and accurate measurement of a prop
