Shopfront and signage changes often need planning or advertisement consent. Food premises must meet environmental health requirements, and Building Regulations cover fire, escape and accessibility.
Work that needs Building Regulations approval can go through Cardiff Council building control or a registered building control approver. Building Regulations are devolved in Wales, so the Welsh Approved Documents apply.

Questions
Shop fit-out in Cardiff: common questions
Do you have shop fit-out installers in Cardiff?
We are a new network and are still signing installers up. If we cannot match your job in Cardiff, we tell you. We do not pass it to someone unsuitable.
How much does a shop fit-out cost?
It depends mostly on finish and joinery. Installers price it properly after a survey and a brief.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront?
Often, yes, and advertisement consent for illuminated signs. Check with your council early because it can take weeks.
Can you work overnight?
Many shopfitters work overnight or around trading hours for refits.
