Restaurant and café fit-out in Galashiels
We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Galashiels and the surrounding parts of the Scottish Borders, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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?
Before we price restaurant and café fit-out in Galashiels, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Galashiels we are usually asked to work on high street units and corner shops and convenience stores and off-licences.
What is included?
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
- Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
What should Galashiels owners check first?
- A new extraction flue often needs planning permission, and odour and noise reports may be asked for.
- 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.
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 Galashiels
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.
Is the survey free in Galashiels?
Yes. We survey units in Galashiels and across the Scottish Borders free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Galashiels?
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.
