How is the work priced?

In and around Cheltenham we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and shopping centre units and retail park stores.

- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication

What should Cheltenham owners check first?
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- 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.
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.
