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

Putney: the houses and the planning rules.
Putney rises from the river to the Heath through streets of Victorian and Edwardian houses, with mansion flats near the bridge, larger houses on West Hill and around the Heath, and the Dover House garden estate to the west. It is a family district with good schools, and the houses are extended accordingly.
Side-return and rear extensions, loft conversions and full refurbishments are the everyday projects, and on the larger West Hill and Heath-side plots we see double-storey extensions and basements. Wandsworth's guidance is clear and the council decides quickly when the drawings are complete.
The Putney Embankment, West Putney and Dover House Estate conservation areas cover parts of the district; many streets are unrestricted.
London Borough of Wandsworth
Wandsworth decides applications and publishes a house extension design guide; outside the conservation areas permitted development covers many rear extensions and lofts.
Basements
The borough's basement policy requires a construction method statement and limits new basements to a single storey under part of the garden.
Dover House estate
The garden estate has Article 4 directions and guidance on windows, roofs and extensions.

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 Putney: your questions.
Can you fit out a shop or café in Putney 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 Wandsworth and illuminated signage needs advertisement consent. We prepare and submit both.
