Working in County Down

In County Down we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.

Northern Ireland's city centres and county towns have a strong independent retail and hospitality sector, and fit-outs follow Northern Ireland's own building regulations and planning system.

What does the work include?

  • Bar counter and back bar joinery
  • Cellar cooling and beer line routes
  • Glass washer, ice machine and sink positions
  • Booth and loose seating

In Northern Ireland, fit-out work is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) and approved by the district council's building control team. New shopfronts and illuminated signs are checked by the council's planning department.

  • Changes to the bar layout may need a variation to your premises licence plan.
  • Late-night venues often need acoustic treatment to satisfy noise conditions.
