Restaurant and café fit-out contractors in Isle of Wight
Businesses across Isle of Wight use us for restaurant and café fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Cowes, Newport, Ryde.
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 Isle of Wight
In Isle of Wight we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and boutiques and independent retailers. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
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 Isle of Wight
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.
- 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 Isle of Wight
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.
