What happens at the survey?
The survey for takeaway and hot food fit-out in Luton covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Luton we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and convenience stores and off-licences.

- 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 Luton owners check first?
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- 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.
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.
