Restaurant and café fit-out in Brentwood

We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Brentwood and the surrounding parts of Essex, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.

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.

Guide price for Brentwood£500–£1,200per m², ex VAT. Fixed after a free survey.

How do we plan the job?

For Brentwood jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.

In and around Brentwood we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and boutiques and independent retailers.

What is included?

  • Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
  • Accessible toilet and baby change
  • Service counter and back bar
  • Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
  • Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens

What should Brentwood owners check first?

  • 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.
  • 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. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.

Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Brentwood

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 Brentwood?

Yes. We survey units in Brentwood and across Essex free of charge, with no obligation.

How soon can work start in Brentwood?

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.
