FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q1

What does a restaurant fit-out include?

A restaurant fit-out covers everything between an empty unit and the first service: front-of-house design and joinery, bars, the commercial kitchen and its extraction, mechanical and electrical services, and the consents and licences to trade. As a turnkey contractor, re:SPACE delivers all of it under one contract.

Q2

Do you fit out bars as well as restaurants?

Yes. Bars are often the hardest-working part of a hospitality fit-out. At Mercato Mayfair we delivered four bars alongside 14 kitchens, with bespoke joinery and services designed around the protected fabric of a Grade I* listed church. The same project included an underground micro-brewery and a roof terrace.

Q3

How do you quote for a restaurant fit-out?

We survey the site, agree a clear scope and provide a competitive quotation for the turnkey package. Quoting after a survey means the scope reflects what the building actually needs, including consents, extraction and services, rather than assumptions. Our completed projects range from 75 to 26,900 sq ft, which is why the survey comes before the quotation.

Q4

Do you deliver restaurant fit-outs outside the UK?

Yes. We deliver across the UK, Spain, France and Italy, including a 750 sq ft hospitality unit at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and a change of use on Via de’ Tosinghi in Florence, each under the local planning and licensing code.
