Bar and pub fit-out for Canterbury businesses

From the first measured survey to the day you open, our bar and pub fit-out work in Canterbury is planned around your lease, your landlord and 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.

Guide price for Canterbury£450–£1,100per m², ex VAT. Fixed after a free survey.

What happens at the survey?

For Canterbury jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.

In and around Canterbury we are usually asked to work on boutiques and independent retailers and convenience stores and off-licences.

What is included?

  • Glass washer, ice machine and sink positions
  • Booth and loose seating
  • Feature, scene and dimmable lighting
  • Acoustic treatment and flooring
  • Bar counter and back bar joinery

What should Canterbury owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Cellar cooling units need somewhere to reject heat, usually outside, which may need consent.

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.

Hard-wearing laminates or sealed hardwoods on the counter, stainless kick plates and a sealed floor that can be mopped hard.
