What is shopfitting like in County Londonderry?
In County Londonderry we mostly see high street units and corner shops and salons, barbers and beauty clinics. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Northern Ireland's city centres and county towns have a strong independent retail and hospitality sector, and fit-outs follow Northern Ireland's own building regulations and planning system.
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

Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in County Londonderry
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.
