What happens at the survey?
Before we price takeaway and hot food fit-out in Derry, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Derry we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and convenience stores and off-licences.
What is included?
- Serving counter with display and hot holding
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring
- Delivery driver collection point
What should Derry 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 Northern Ireland, fit-out work is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) and approved by the district council's building control team. New shopfronts and illuminated signs are checked by the council's planning department.
Questions about takeaway and hot food fit-out in Derry
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 Derry?
Yes. We survey units in Derry and across County Londonderry free of charge, with no obligation.
How soon can work start in Derry?
