Bar and pub fit-out across Kent
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Kent, our bar and pub fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
A bar fit-out builds the bar counter and back bar, the cellar and beer line runs, seating and the lighting and acoustics that set the mood.
What is shopfitting like in Kent?
Most enquiries we get from Kent come from boutiques and independent retailers or convenience stores and off-licences, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Booth and loose seating
- Feature, scene and dimmable lighting
- Acoustic treatment and flooring
- Bar counter and back bar joinery
What approvals might you need in Kent?
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.
- 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.
