Commercial — Fit-Out

Commercial Fit-Out in London

From a small retail refit to a full restaurant build — we deliver commercial fit-outs across London on schedule, on budget, with minimum disruption to your business.

Full commercial fit-out

A commercial fit-out is a different beast to a home renovation. You need it done on time, on budget, with minimum downtime, and to commercial standards (DDA, fire regs, food hygiene, licensing). TrustBuilt Projects has delivered fit-outs across the full spectrum: bars, restaurants, retail, offices, salons, spas, gyms and entertainment venues.

We work to your opening date, not the other way around. Many of our clients keep trading during partial fit-outs by staging the work in phases. Every project is quoted in writing after a free site visit.

Costs

How much does a commercial fit-out (office, retail, restaurant) cost in London?

Every project is priced individually — we give you a fixed written quote after a free site visit.

What affects your commercial fit-out (office, retail, restaurant) cost?

Specification & finish level

The single biggest driver. A basic Cat A-plus office, a branded mid-spec or a bespoke premium scheme can differ two- to three-fold per square foot.

Use class & kitchen services

Restaurants and cafés cost far more than retail or office because commercial kitchens, extraction, grease management, drainage and power upgrades add 15–20% of the budget.

Building condition & shell type

A shell-and-core unit needs full M&E, floors and ceilings from scratch; refitting a serviceable existing space is quicker and noticeably cheaper per sq ft.

London location & access

City, Mayfair and West End postcodes, plus listed or heritage buildings, lift constraints and restricted out-of-hours working all push London rates 20–30% above the UK average.

Landlord approvals & compliance

Licence-to-alter, Building Control, fire strategy, accessibility and dilapidations clauses add cost and lead time, especially on leasehold and multi-tenant buildings.

Lead times & material choice

Bespoke joinery, imported finishes, glazing and long-lead M&E plant extend programmes and inflate cost; a 10–15% contingency is standard on any fit-out.

FAQ

Common questions

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

Every fit-out is priced individually — a small retail refresh costs far less than a full premium restaurant build. The biggest drivers are M&E (mechanical and electrical), commercial kitchen specs, and finish quality. We provide a written quote after the free site visit.

Can you work around our trading hours?

Yes. Many of our commercial clients keep trading during partial fit-outs by staging the work in phases or working overnight. We'll plan the work schedule around your operational needs.

How fast can you deliver?

Most retail fit-outs take 4–10 weeks. Restaurants and bars typically need 8–14 weeks due to commercial kitchen specs and licensing. We commit to your opening date and plan backwards from there.

Do you handle the licensing / fire / DDA paperwork?

We handle Building Regs and DDA compliance as part of every commercial build. Specific operational licensing (alcohol, food hygiene, etc.) is your responsibility, but we can recommend trusted consultants if needed.

Do you work with our architect / designer?

Absolutely. We work to your designer's specs and coordinate with architects, M&E consultants, and brand designers. We can also recommend designers if you don't have one yet.

What sectors do you work in?

We've delivered fit-outs for bars, restaurants, cafes, retail shops, supermarkets, offices, gyms, spas & salons, nightclubs, and entertainment venues. If your sector isn't listed, just ask.
