Restaurant and café fit-out for Bournemouth businesses
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our restaurant and café fit-out work in Bournemouth is planned around your lease, your landlord and your trading hours.
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 happens at the survey?
Every restaurant and café fit-out quote for Bournemouth lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Bournemouth we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and shopping centre units and retail park stores.

What should Bournemouth owners check first?
- Kitchen gas work must be done and certified by a Gas Safe engineer registered for commercial catering.
- 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.
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.
Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Bournemouth
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.
Is the survey free in Bournemouth?
Yes. We survey units in Bournemouth and across Dorset free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Bournemouth?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
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.
