Restaurant and café fit-out across Cornwall
From Penzance to Bodmin, we deliver restaurant and café fit-out for independent owners and multi-site operators across Cornwall, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
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.
Local projects in Cornwall
In Cornwall we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and boutiques and independent retailers. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
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?
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
What approvals might you need in Cornwall?
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.
- A new extraction flue often needs planning permission, and odour and noise reports may be asked for.
- Kitchen gas work must be done and certified by a Gas Safe engineer registered for commercial catering.
