What should Cambridge owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.

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.

Yes. We survey units in Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire free of charge, with no obligation.

How soon can work start in Cambridge?

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.
