What should East Kilbride owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Register your food business with the council at least 28 days before you start trading.

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.

Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in East Kilbride

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.

Yes. We survey units in East Kilbride and across Lanarkshire free of charge, with no obligation.
