Restaurant and café fit-out for Dundee businesses

We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Dundee and the surrounding parts of Tayside, 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.

Guide price for Dundee£500–£1,200per m², ex VAT. Fixed after a free survey.

What happens at the survey?

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

In and around Dundee we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores 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 Dundee owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Kitchen gas work must be done and certified by a Gas Safe engineer registered for commercial catering.

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 Dundee

How soon can work start in Dundee?

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.

Is the survey free in Dundee?

Yes. We survey units in Dundee and across Tayside free of charge, with no obligation.
