Restaurant and café fit-out in Northamptonshire
Businesses across Northamptonshire use us for restaurant and café fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Northampton, Kettering, Corby.
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 is shopfitting like in Northamptonshire?
In Northamptonshire we mostly see high street units and corner shops 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.
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?
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
