Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office refurbishment cost? ▼

Office refurbishment costs in London range from around £25–£45 per sq ft for a basic refresh (redecoration, flooring, lighting) to £85–£150+ per sq ft for a full specification project with strip-out and complete M&E. Mid-spec works — partitions, electrical, flooring — typically fall between £50–£80 per sq ft. See our full cost breakdown above, or request a site visit for an itemised quote specific to your space.

How long does a commercial office refurbishment take? ▼

A basic refresh (flooring, decoration, lighting) typically takes 2–4 weeks. A mid-spec refurbishment with partitions and electrical works usually runs 4–8 weeks. A full specification project with strip-out and M&E upgrades is typically 8–16 weeks. We provide a detailed programme before works begin so you can plan around the delivery.

How can disruption be minimised during an office refurbishment? ▼

We offer phased delivery, out-of-hours working and weekend working to keep your business running throughout. Our project managers plan works carefully to isolate active zones and provide regular progress updates so you're never caught off guard by what's happening next.

Do you provide office interior design services? ▼

We do not provide interior design services. We work from your brief, existing plans, or alongside your chosen designer. Our expertise is in the delivery and project management of the physical refurbishment works — getting what's on paper built to a high standard, on time and on budget.

Which areas do you cover for office refurbishment? ▼

Our primary coverage is London, Kent, Surrey, Essex and the wider South East. We also take on projects nationally for established clients. See our full coverage section above, or call us on 020 3393 9600 to discuss your specific location.

What's the difference between office refurbishment and office fit-out? ▼

An office refurbishment involves upgrading and improving an existing, occupied or previously occupied workspace — replacing finishes, reconfiguring layouts, upgrading systems. An office fit-out typically refers to building out a Cat A shell or Cat B space from scratch. In practice the terms overlap, and many projects involve both. See our office fit-out service page for more detail.
