Working in Lancashire

In Lancashire we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and shopping centre units and retail park stores. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.

North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.

What does the work include?

  • Service counter and back bar
  • Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
  • Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
  • Canopy, extraction and make-up air

Planning and building control in Lancashire

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.

  • 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.

Can you install the kitchen extraction?

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.
