Restaurant and café fit-out contractors in Cheshire
Businesses across Cheshire use us for restaurant and café fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Crewe, Macclesfield, Northwich.
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.
What is shopfitting like in Cheshire?
Most enquiries we get from Cheshire come from pharmacies and healthcare premises or showrooms and trade counters, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
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?
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
What approvals might you need in Cheshire?
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 Cheshire
Do you cover Crewe and the rest of Cheshire?
Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Crewe, Macclesfield and across Cheshire. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Cheshire?
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.
