Restaurant and café fit-out for Livingston businesses
Need restaurant and café fit-out in Livingston? 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.
How do we plan the job?
Every restaurant and café fit-out quote for Livingston lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Livingston we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and convenience stores and off-licences.
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 Livingston 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.
Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Livingston
Is the survey free in Livingston?
Yes. We survey units in Livingston and across Lothian free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Livingston?
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.
