Bar and pub fit-out contractors in Edinburgh

We carry out bar and pub fit-out in Edinburgh and the surrounding parts of Lothian, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.

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 happens at the survey?

Every bar and pub fit-out quote for Edinburgh lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.

In and around Edinburgh we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and high street units and corner shops.

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 Edinburgh owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Late-night venues often need acoustic treatment to satisfy noise conditions.

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
