Restaurant and café fit-out across Bristol
Our restaurant and café fit-out team works across Bristol and the wider South West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Bristol.
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 Bristol
Most enquiries we get from Bristol come from convenience stores and off-licences or boutiques and independent retailers, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
What approvals might you need in Bristol?
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.
- 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 Bristol
Do you cover Bristol and the rest of Bristol?
Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Bristol, Bristol and across Bristol. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Bristol?
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.
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.
