Restaurant and café fit-out contractors in Ayrshire
Businesses across Ayrshire use us for restaurant and café fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Irvine, Largs, Ayr.
A restaurant or café fit-out covers the dining area, the service counter and the back-of-house kitchen, including the extraction, gas, drainage and hygiene finishes the kitchen needs.
Working in Ayrshire
Most enquiries we get from Ayrshire come from convenience stores and off-licences or salons, barbers and beauty clinics, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
South West Scotland's towns rely on independent retailers and hospitality, with many shop units in traditional sandstone terraces.
What does the work include?
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
What approvals might you need in Ayrshire?
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.
- Register your food business with the council at least 28 days before you start trading.
- A new extraction flue often needs planning permission, and odour and noise reports may be asked for.
Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Ayrshire

Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Irvine, Largs and across Ayrshire. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Ayrshire?
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.
How much does a café fit-out cost?
A small café refit without a new kitchen extraction system can start from the low end of our range. A full restaurant with new extraction and a commercial kitchen sits at the top. We price from a survey, not a guess.
Do I need planning permission for a restaurant?
Change of use from shop to restaurant may need planning permission, and a new extraction flue usually does. We check the planning history during the survey.
