Takeaway and hot food fit-out contractors in Brighton

Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Brighton use our takeaway and hot food fit-out service to get one contract, one programme and one point of contact.

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.

How do we plan the job?

For Brighton jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.

In and around Brighton we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and high street units and corner shops.

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 Brighton owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.

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.
