What happens at the survey?

Before we price bar and pub fit-out in Reading, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.

In and around Reading we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and high street units and corner shops.

What is included?

  • Cellar cooling and beer line routes
  • Glass washer, ice machine and sink positions
  • Booth and loose seating
  • Feature, scene and dimmable lighting
  • Acoustic treatment and flooring

What should Reading owners check first?

  • Late-night venues often need acoustic treatment to satisfy noise conditions.
  • Cellar cooling units need somewhere to reject heat, usually outside, which may need consent.
  • Changes to the bar layout may need a variation to your premises licence plan.

In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
