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

Northwood: the houses and the planning rules.
Northwood grew up around the Metropolitan line station in the early 1900s, with substantial Edwardian houses along the tree-lined roads to the east and inter-war housing filling the rest. Plots are large, the houses are detached, and the neighbouring Moor Park estate raises the ceiling on what owners will invest.
The projects here are among the largest we do outside central London: double-storey rear extensions, full refurbishments with new services and layouts, new kitchens and bathrooms throughout, and loft conversions within the deep hipped roofs.
The Northwood Frithwood and Green Lane conservation areas cover parts of the district; most streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Hillingdon
Hillingdon decides applications. Large plots mean most single-storey extensions are permitted development, while double-storey schemes need a householder application.
Conservation areas
In the Frithwood and Green Lane areas, external changes are assessed against the conservation area appraisal, with attention to trees and boundary treatments.
Moor Park
On the Moor Park estate, the residents' association has its own covenants and approval process alongside planning.
Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Northwood.
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 Northwood: your questions.
Can you fit out a shop or café in Northwood 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 Hillingdon and illuminated signage needs advertisement consent. We prepare and submit both.
