If you have signed or are about to sign a commercial unit in Preston and need it turned into a trading café, you need one company accountable for every trade. Redwire Service Ltd is a Preston-based fit-out contractor that manages complete café and coffee shop projects from first survey to opening day. You deal with one team, one programme and one point of contact instead of chasing an electrician, a joiner, a tiler and a signwriter separately.
We work on shell units, change-of-use conversions, tired cafés in need of a full refurbishment, and second sites for owners who already know exactly what works. Whether your unit is on Friargate, Fishergate, Lune Street, Deepdale, Fulwood or a retail park on the edge of the city, we understand the practical realities: narrow access, shared servicing, landlord conditions, licensing and the pressure of paying rent on a unit that is not yet earning. Our job is to shorten that gap.
Every project is delivered by our own supervised team and long-standing local trades. We are licensed and insured, our electrical works are tested and certified, and we have completed many fit outs across Preston and Lancashire cafés, coffee shops, dessert bars, bakeries and takeaways. References and recent projects are available when you ask.
You can hand us the keys to an empty unit. These are the works we deliver and coordinate in-house.
Counter position, seating density, service flow and back-of-house planning, with drawings you can take to building control or your landlord.
