Restaurant and café fit-out contractors in Highland
From Nairn to Thurso, we deliver restaurant and café fit-out for independent owners and multi-site operators across Highland, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
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 Highland
In Highland we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics and convenience stores and off-licences. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Highland towns serve wide rural catchments and visitor trade, and fit-out logistics need planning around longer delivery distances.
What does the work include?
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
What approvals might you need in Highland?
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.
- 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.
