Working in Merseyside

In Merseyside we mostly see convenience stores and off-licences and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.

North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.

What does the work include?

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

Planning and building control in Merseyside

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.
