Restaurant and café fit-out for North Shields businesses

We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in North Shields and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear, 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 North Shields£500–£1,200per m², ex VAT. Fixed after a free survey.

What happens at the survey?

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

In and around North Shields we are usually asked to work on boutiques and independent retailers and showrooms and trade counters.

What is included?

  • Accessible toilet and baby change
  • Service counter and back bar
  • Banquettes, booths and loose seating layout
  • Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
  • Canopy, extraction and make-up air

What should North Shields 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 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.

Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in North Shields

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 North Shields?

Yes. We survey units in North Shields and across Tyne and Wear free of charge, with no obligation.

How soon can work start in North Shields?

Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.
