Restaurant and café fit-out in Worcestershire
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Worcestershire, our restaurant and café fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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.
What is shopfitting like in Worcestershire?
In Worcestershire we mostly see convenience stores and off-licences and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
The West Midlands is home ground for us — we are based in Great Barr, Birmingham — and covers everything from city-centre units to Black Country high streets and shopping centres.
What does the work include?
- Canopy, extraction and make-up air
- Gas, water and grease-trap drainage
- Accessible toilet and baby change
- Service counter and back bar
What approvals might you need in Worcestershire?
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.
- 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.
Questions about restaurant and café fit-out in Worcestershire
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.
Do you cover Kidderminster and the rest of Worcestershire?
Yes. We carry out restaurant and café fit-out in Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and across Worcestershire. The survey is free wherever the unit is.
Which building rules apply to fit-outs in Worcestershire?
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.
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.
