Restaurant and café fit-out contractors in Glasgow
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Glasgow, our restaurant and café fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around 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.
Local projects in Glasgow
In Glasgow we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and high street units and corner shops. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
West Central Scotland has the country's largest retail concentration, with city-centre units, shopping centres and suburban parades all needing building warrant approval for structural fit-out changes.
What does the work include?
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
Planning and building control in Glasgow
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 Glasgow
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Glasgow?
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.
Can you install the kitchen extraction?
Yes, we coordinate the canopy, ductwork, fan and make-up air as part of the fit-out.
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 you cover Glasgow and the rest of Glasgow?
Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Glasgow, Glasgow and across Glasgow. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
