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

Kingston upon Thames: the houses and the planning rules.
Kingston combines a historic market town with some of the largest private houses in south-west London on the Coombe estates, where detached houses sit in big gardens on private roads. Between them are Edwardian and inter-war family houses and Victorian terraces closer to the river.
We designed, supplied and fitted a kitchen on Coombe Lane North with high-gloss glass fronts, pine veneer, toughened glass worktops and Gaggenau appliances, a large room in a detached house where the kitchen had to match the scale of the space.
The Coombe Hill, Kingston Old Town and riverside conservation areas cover parts of the borough.
Royal Borough of Kingston
Kingston decides applications. The Coombe conservation areas and private estates have design guidance and covenants that affect extensions and external changes.
Detached houses
Larger plots allow double-storey extensions and basements that would not be possible in inner London, though most need a planning application.
Flood zones
Riverside streets fall within flood zones, which affects basements and ground-floor levels.
Approvals for shop, café and restaurant fit-outs in Kingston upon Thames.
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.
