Restaurant and café fit-out in Northumberland
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Northumberland, our restaurant and café fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.

Working in Northumberland
Typical Northumberland jobs for this service involve boutiques and independent retailers, as well as showrooms and trade counters. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.
North East towns have seen a wave of independent businesses taking on vacant units, and fit-outs here often start with bringing a tired shell back into usable condition.
What does the work include?
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
What approvals might you need in Northumberland?
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.
- 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.
