Light industrial, manufacturing and trade units across the county
Leonard James Commercial handles industrial units to rent and for sale across Norfolk — from compact starter units suitable for sole traders, to larger production and trade-counter premises for established businesses. Our portfolio covers the major Norfolk industrial locations: Snetterton, Attleborough, Wymondham, Hethel, Norwich, Dereham and the wider A11 / A47 corridor — all with strong road access into the South-East and the Midlands.
• Light industrial units (Class B2 / B8) for assembly, manufacturing, storage and distribution. • Trade counter units with retail frontage and warehouse to the rear. • Workshop units for skilled trades, vehicle work and engineering. • Self-contained yard units with secure external storage. • Flexible serviced industrial space for smaller occupiers. • Larger logistics units along the A11 corridor.
Norfolk offers significantly lower industrial occupation costs than the South-East and the M25 belt, combined with excellent A11 access to Cambridge, London and the M11/M25 network, and A47 access east-west. The county has a strong manufacturing and engineering heritage and a workforce to match.
Whether you are an occupier looking for the right unit, an investor seeking yield, or a landlord disposing of a vacant industrial asset, our commercial team will guide you through the process — including lease terms, business rates, planning use class and dilapidations advice.
Class E covers retail, office and light industrial uses. Class B2 covers general industrial (heavier processes), and B8 covers storage and distribution. Use class affects what activities can take place — we can advise on the correct class for your business.
It depends on the lease — most commercial leases restrict or prohibit sub-letting without landlord consent. Always check before committing space to a sub-tenant.
Almost never — rates are paid separately by the occupier directly to the local council. Small businesses may qualify for Small Business Rate Relief.
On most multi-let estates the landlord insures the building and recharges through a service charge; you insure your own contents and business interruption. We explain all charges before you commit to a lease.
