Restaurant and café fit-out in Edinburgh
Need restaurant and café fit-out in Edinburgh? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.
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?
Before we price restaurant and café fit-out in Edinburgh, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Edinburgh we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
What should Edinburgh 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 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.
