Bar and pub fit-out in West Sussex
Businesses across West Sussex use us for bar and pub fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Worthing, Chichester, Horsham.
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.
Local projects in West Sussex
In West Sussex we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
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?
- Cellar cooling and beer line routes
- Glass washer, ice machine and sink positions
- Booth and loose seating
- Feature, scene and dimmable lighting
What approvals might you need in West Sussex?
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.
