Restaurant and café fit-out for Folkestone businesses
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Folkestone 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.
How do we plan the job?
For Folkestone jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Folkestone we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and high street units and corner shops.
What is included?
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
What should Folkestone owners check first?
- 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.
- A new extraction flue often needs planning permission, and odour and noise reports may be asked for.
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.
Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Folkestone
Is the survey free in Folkestone?
Yes. We survey units in Folkestone and across Kent free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Folkestone?
Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
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.
