How do we plan the job?

For Johnstone jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.

In and around Johnstone we are usually asked to work on high street units and corner shops and boutiques and independent retailers.

What is included?

  • Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
  • Accessible toilet and baby change
  • Service counter and back bar
  • Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
  • Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens

What should Johnstone 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 Johnstone

Is the survey free in Johnstone?

Yes. We survey units in Johnstone and across Renfrewshire free of charge, with no obligation.

How soon can work start in Johnstone?

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.
