What happens at the survey?
Before we price takeaway and hot food fit-out in London, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around London we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and convenience stores and off-licences.

- Serving counter with display and hot holding
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring
What should London 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.
