What is shopfitting like in Fife?

Typical Fife jobs for this service involve shopping centre units and retail park stores, as well as salons, barbers and beauty clinics. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.

East Central Scotland includes the capital's historic streets, where much of the centre is protected, alongside modern towns with newer retail developments.

  • 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 Fife?

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

  • 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.

Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Fife

Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Fife?

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

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.

Do you cover Glenrothes and the rest of Fife?

Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Glenrothes, St Andrews and across Fife. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
