Restaurant and café fit-out for Hartlepool businesses

What should Hartlepool owners check first?

- Register your food business with the council at least 28 days before you start trading.
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.
