Local projects in Gloucestershire

Most enquiries we get from Gloucestershire come from showrooms and trade counters or salons, barbers and beauty clinics, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.

South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.

What does the work include?

  • Canopy, extraction and make-up air
  • Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
  • Accessible toilet and baby change
  • Service counter and back bar

Planning and building control in Gloucestershire

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.

  • 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.

Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Gloucestershire

Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Gloucestershire?

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.

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 Cirencester and the rest of Gloucestershire?

Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Cirencester, Tewkesbury and across Gloucestershire. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
