Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Notting Hill.
A commercial fit-out is judged on one thing: whether the doors open on the date agreed. We have fitted out cafés, patisseries, restaurants and shops across London, including units in stations where working hours are tightly controlled, and we plan every job backwards from the opening date.
The work covers design and drawings, the landlord's approval, planning permission for shopfronts and signage, building control, and the fit-out itself: partitions, services, extraction, counters and joinery, flooring, lighting and decoration. Where the unit is trading, we build joinery off site and install overnight.
For a unit in Notting Hill we start with the lease and the landlord's requirements, check what the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea will need for the shopfront and any change of use, and then agree a fixed programme with you.

Notting Hill: the houses and the planning rules.
Notting Hill is the Ladbroke estate: crescents of paired stucco villas laid out in the 1840s around private communal gardens, with painted terraces sloping down towards Portobello Road and the red-brick mansion blocks of Pembridge Square. It is one of the largest and most recognisable Victorian suburbs in London, and it is protected accordingly.
Most of the houses have been through several lives, from single family homes to bedsits and back again, so refurbishments here often involve reinstating original layouts, repairing stucco and cornices, and adding basements and rear extensions that the communal-garden rules and RBKC policy allow.
The Pembridge, Ladbroke, Norland and Kensington Park conservation areas cover almost all of Notting Hill.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. The Ladbroke and Pembridge conservation areas have Article 4 directions, so most external changes, including rear extensions and roof works, need a full application.
Communal gardens
Houses backing onto the communal gardens are covered by garden committee rules as well as planning, which affect rear extensions, terraces and boundary treatments.
Basements
New basements follow the borough's single-storey policy with a construction traffic management plan and structural method statement.
Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Notting Hill.
Internal fit-out rarely needs planning permission, but new shopfronts, signage and changes of use do, and landlords have their own approval process. Food premises need extraction and drainage designed to building regulations and environmental health requirements.

Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Notting Hill: your questions.
Can you fit out a shop or café in Notting Hill around trading hours?
Yes. We plan the programme around your opening hours and the landlord's rules, building joinery off site and installing overnight where necessary.
Do I need permission for a new shopfront?
Usually yes. Shopfront changes need planning permission from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and illuminated signage needs advertisement consent. We prepare and submit both.
