Takeaway and hot food fit-out contractors in East Sussex
Our takeaway and hot food fit-out team works across East Sussex and the wider South East, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Crowborough, Brighton, Eastbourne.
A takeaway fit-out is a compact commercial kitchen with a customer counter and a waiting area, built to food hygiene standards and with extraction that satisfies planning conditions.
Working in East Sussex
Most enquiries we get from East Sussex come from shopping centre units and retail park stores or pharmacies and healthcare premises, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring
- Delivery driver collection point
What approvals might you need in East Sussex?
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.
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
