Restaurant and bar fit-out, from shell to opening night.
Dining rooms, bars and back of house, built by one contractor, with our own joinery company making the counters, the back bar and the banquettes. We commit to a completion date in writing.
The front of house your guests see, and the back of house that has to pass.
Dining rooms
Floors, walls, ceilings and lighting, from a landlord's shell or a tired existing unit.
Bars and back bars
Counters, back bars and drinks display made by Selection.Works, our own joinery company.
Seating and joinery
Banquettes, screens, waiter stations and wine storage built to your layout.
Commercial kitchens
Builder's works for your kitchen supplier: drainage, finishes, services and extract routes.
Toilets and back of house
Customer and staff toilets, stores and changing rooms.
Shopfront and terrace
Glazed fronts and folding screens from AtoZ Design & Glass, our own glazing company.
The opening date is booked before the build starts.
Staff are hired, the launch is announced and the rent is running. Kitchen extract, drainage and services decide that date more than the finishes do, so we coordinate them first.
- Kitchen supplier, M&E engineer and landlord coordinated from the survey
- Extract and drainage routes agreed before the finishes are ordered
- Joinery made in parallel with the site work, not after it
- A completion date you can plan an opening against
A new surface in three millimetres, over the tiles you already have.
A flexible epoxy resin system: floor, walls and inside the shower as one continuous material. Two tests come first. Every tile is tapped for hollows, and the floor is checked for movement. Where either fails, we say so and strip out properly.
Over existing tiles
Bonded straight over sound ceramic, porcelain, mosaic or stone. No strip-out and no skip.
2–3 mm thick
Door heights and thresholds stay where they are.
Waterproof as a system
Rated by the manufacturer for showers and direct contact with water. Floor, walls and shower read as one surface.
Any colour
27 standard nuances, or any RAL or NCS reference made to order.
How it is applied, layer by layer
Over what you already have
Applied
Click on, click off. The frame stays.
An aluminium frame with design panels held by magnets. When the room needs a new look we change only the panels, so the waste from a refresh is the face of the wall and nothing behind it.
Click on, click off
Design panels are held on the aluminium frame by magnets. Changing the face of a wall is one trade, with no dust and no wet work.
Keep the frame, change the design
At the next refresh only the panels change. The frame stays, so the waste from a new look is the face of the wall and nothing behind it.
One frame, many uses
Wall cladding, shelving, booths, room dividers, headboards and display walls, all on the same uprights.
No plaster, no drying time
A refreshed feature wall does not need board, skim and paint, or the days of drying between them.
Made in our own factory, so we keep full control.
Design and build means the joinery is drawn around your plan, made by our own workshop and installed by the same team. Nothing waits on another company's production queue.
Our own factory
Every piece of joinery, every kitchen and every finish is made by Selection.Works, our own workshop.
Full control
Material, tolerance and programme stay with us from drawing to installation, with no other company's production queue in between.
Full bespoke
Reception desks, bars, counters, storage walls, panelling, headboards and wardrobes, drawn for your space.
It comes apart
Low-carbon board chosen by its EPD, real-wood veneers, and mechanical fixings rather than glue, so panels can be reused.
We finish on the agreed date, or we pay you £500 for every week we are late.
A restaurant that cannot open still pays rent and wages. That is why the date goes in the contract. The date is in the contract, and so is this. Only a variation you approve can move it.
Payment follows the build: 10% to mobilise, then weekly against work already done — with 5% held past handover: 2.5% released at practical completion and 2.5% at the end of the 12-month defects period.
Stone, timber and joinery in a working café.
The V&A café works ran outside public opening hours. The Moncler counter is retail, shown for the stone and joinery a bar front needs.
The other spaces we fit out.
Same contract, same named project manager, same glazing company and joinery factory. The constraints change with the room.
What restaurant owners ask first.
Do you supply the kitchen equipment?
Your kitchen supplier designs and supplies the equipment. We do the builder's works around it and coordinate the programme, so the extract, drainage and services are ready when the equipment arrives.
Can you work around a landlord's fit-out rules?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and method statements a landlord asks for and work to the building's access and loading hours.
Can you refurbish without closing?
Often, in phases, overnight or on closed days. We agree the trading plan at the survey rather than mid-job.
How is a restaurant fit-out priced?
After a site survey. The shell you inherit and what your kitchen needs decide the cost far more than the floor area, so we do not quote from a floor area.
Book a restaurant site survey.
We walk the space, the access, the landlord’s rules and your trading hours, then come back with a priced scope and a programme. If the job is the wrong fit for us, we say so before either of us spends money finding out.
