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

Harrow: the houses and the planning rules.
Harrow is Metroland: the streets around Harrow-on-the-Hill, North Harrow and Rayners Lane were built between the wars for commuters on the Metropolitan line, with generous semi-detached houses on plots that suit rear extensions and loft conversions. On the Hill itself, the village around the school is older, with Victorian and Georgian houses inside a conservation area.
It is one of our busiest areas. We have built a rear extension with bi-fold doors and a new kitchen in Rayners Lane, a loft and six-metre rear extension in Harrow on the Hill, refurbished a house in North Harrow, and fitted out cafés in St George's shopping centre and at the bus station.
The Harrow on the Hill Village and Roxeth Hill conservation areas cover the Hill; most of the borough is unrestricted.
London Borough of Harrow
Harrow decides applications. Outside the Hill's conservation areas, most rear extensions and loft conversions fall within permitted development, subject to the usual size limits.
Permitted development
Single-storey rear extensions up to 3 metres, or 6 metres with prior approval, and rear dormers within 50 cubic metres are typical. A lawful development certificate is worth obtaining for resale.
Harrow on the Hill
Within the village conservation area, extensions and roof changes need a planning application and matching materials.
Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Harrow.
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.

Can you fit out a shop or café in Harrow 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?
