Restaurant and café fit-out contractors in Leicestershire
We carry out restaurant and café fit-out throughout Leicestershire, from Leicester to Loughborough. Every job starts with a measured survey and ends with a certified, trading-ready handover.
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.
Working in Leicestershire
Most enquiries we get from Leicestershire come from shopping centre units and retail park stores or convenience stores and off-licences, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
East Midlands town centres combine older Victorian parades with newer precincts, and many fit-outs involve updating dated units for food, beauty and convenience retailers.
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 Leicestershire
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.
