Common questions
Can I enquire before all licensing documents are ready?
Yes. Start with the address, restaurant type, fuel and target opening date. Share a layout or issued fire requirements if available; we will clarify the survey and quotation scope.
What does the restaurant fire-work quote include?
The quote identifies equipment, alterations, testing and document work within the confirmed scope. Check separately whether ventilation, gas, electrical work, RFE appointments and additional repairs are included.
Does finishing the fire work guarantee a licence?
No. The works are one part of the application; the authority assesses the application against all applicable requirements and documents.
Discuss the work your premises need
Share the premises, proposed scope and timing. For tender enquiries, include the brief and submission deadline. Available drawings and recent reports help us review the work; you can contact us before everything is ready.
