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

Kenton: the houses and the planning rules.
Kenton is Metroland between Harrow and Wembley: long avenues of 1930s semis with tiled bays, hipped roofs and gardens deep enough for a full-width extension. The houses were well built and most have never been extended beyond a small kitchen addition, so the potential is considerable.
The typical Kenton project is a rear extension for an open-plan kitchen and family room, a hip-to-gable loft with a rear dormer for two more bedrooms, and a refurbishment of the rest of the house to match. Because there are no conservation areas, most of it is permitted development.
There are no conservation areas in Kenton; most streets are unrestricted.
Harrow and Brent
The borough boundary runs through Kenton; we check which council applies at the first visit. Both allow most rear extensions and lofts under permitted development.
Hip-to-gable lofts
The 50 cubic metre allowance for semi-detached houses usually covers a hip-to-gable conversion with a rear dormer, confirmed by a lawful development certificate.
Larger extensions
Double-storey rear extensions and side extensions that come within a metre of the boundary need a householder application.
Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Kenton.
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 Kenton: your questions.
Can you fit out a shop or café in Kenton 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 London Borough of Harrow and London Borough of Brent and illuminated signage needs advertisement consent. We prepare and submit both.
