Restaurant and café fit-out in West Sussex
From Worthing to Chichester, we deliver restaurant and café fit-out for independent owners and multi-site operators across West Sussex, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
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.
Working in West Sussex
Typical West Sussex jobs for this service involve convenience stores and off-licences, as well as shopping centre units and retail park stores. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Hygienic wall and floor finishes for kitchens
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change

Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
