Working in Bristol

Most enquiries we get from Bristol come from convenience stores and off-licences or high street units and corner shops, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.

South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.

What does the work include?

  • Delivery driver collection point
  • Waste and grease management
  • Serving counter with display and hot holding
  • Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
