Guide price for Aberdeen£450–£1,000per m², ex VAT. Fixed after a free survey.

What happens at the survey?

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

In and around Aberdeen we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.

What is included?

  • Extraction canopy and odour control
  • Wall cladding and coved flooring
  • Delivery driver collection point
  • Waste and grease management
  • Serving counter with display and hot holding

What should Aberdeen owners check first?

  • Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
  • Hot food takeaways need planning permission for the use class, and many councils restrict new takeaways near schools.
  • Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.

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 takeaway and hot food fit-out in Aberdeen

How soon can work start in Aberdeen?

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

Can you work in a dark kitchen unit?

Yes. Delivery-only kitchens follow the same hygiene and extraction rules without the customer counter.

Do I need planning permission for a takeaway?

A hot food takeaway is its own use class, so converting a shop usually needs planning permission. We check before you commit to the lease.

Is the survey free in Aberdeen?

Yes. We survey units in Aberdeen and across Aberdeenshire free of charge, with no obligation.
