Restaurant and café fit-out for Chatham businesses
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Chatham use our restaurant and café fit-out service to get one contract, one programme and one point of contact.
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.
What happens at the survey?

In and around Chatham we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and shopping centre units and retail park stores.

- Accessible toilet and baby change

What should Chatham owners check first?
- 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.
- Kitchen gas work must be done and certified by a Gas Safe engineer registered for commercial catering.
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.
