Shop, Café & Restaurant Fit-Outs in Hampstead Garden Suburb.
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 Hampstead Garden Suburb we start with the lease and the landlord's requirements, check what the London Borough of Barnet will need for the shopfront and any change of use, and then agree a fixed programme with you.

Hampstead Garden Suburb: the houses and the planning rules.
Hampstead Garden Suburb is a planned Arts and Crafts suburb begun in 1907, with cottages and houses by Unwin, Parker, Lutyens and their contemporaries set on tree-lined roads around Central Square. The whole Suburb is protected twice over, by Barnet as a conservation area and by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, which must approve any external change.
Owners here typically want to extend and modernise without losing what makes the houses special. That means extensions designed in the Suburb's own language, roofs and windows that follow the Trust's guidance, and interiors that bring services and kitchens up to date while keeping the original joinery and proportions.
The whole Suburb is a conservation area, with Article 4 directions on every street and the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust as a second consenting body.
London Borough of Barnet
Barnet decides planning applications, with Article 4 directions across the Suburb removing permitted development rights for all external work.
The Trust
The Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust must also approve external alterations under the scheme of management, with its own design guidance and application.
Materials
Handmade tiles, brick, timber windows and lime render are expected; the Trust publishes detailed guidance for each.
