Construction projects start from £100k.

M&E — power, lighting scenes, heating and cooling, fire alarm and emergency lighting, sound.

Restaurant fit-out FAQs

How much does a restaurant fit-out cost in London?

It depends on the size of the unit, the condition of the shell and the kitchen and extraction you need. Craftex takes on construction projects from £100k and gives every client a line-by-line cost plan after a site survey, before any commitment.

How long does a restaurant fit-out take?

Most London restaurant builds take 4–12 weeks on site, after 4–10 weeks of design, approvals and ordering. Our Aunties restaurant in Seven Sisters was completed in 4 weeks.

Do you design and build the commercial kitchen?

Yes. We plan the kitchen layout with you and your chef, then install the gas, extraction, ventilation, drainage and hygienic finishes as part of the same contract.

Can you work on a pub or bar while it is still trading?

Yes. We phase the works, work out of hours where needed and keep trading areas safe and clean, as we did on the Gloucester Arms refurbishment.

Which areas of London do you cover?

All of London, including the West End, Covent Garden, Soho, Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, the City and Shoreditch, plus the South East.
