Takeaway and hot food fit-out in Wiltshire
Businesses across Wiltshire use us for takeaway and hot food fit-out because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Salisbury, Chippenham, Trowbridge.
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 Wiltshire
In Wiltshire we mostly see convenience stores and off-licences and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Serving counter with display and hot holding
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring
What approvals might you need in Wiltshire?
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.
