What we refurbish

Occupied office refurbishment

Floors, ceilings, lighting and finishes, done at night while your tenants keep working.

What's included

Phasing plan, tenant notices, nightly protection and clean, supervisor sign-off each morning, and a named contact for the building manager.

Dilapidations and lease-end works

Priced against the schedule of dilapidations, and finished before the lease ends.

What's included

A line-by-line price against the schedule, strip-out and reinstatement, a photo record for both surveyors, and works timed to the lease end date.

A bright Cat A office floor ready to let

Cat A refresh for landlords

Vacant floors brought back to a lettable Cat A standard, fast, to cut the void.

What's included

Ceilings, LED lighting, raised floors, M&E adjustments, decoration and a marketing-ready clean, with reuse of sound materials where we can.

Receptions, cores and washrooms

The shared parts tenants notice most, phased so the building never closes.

What's included

Receptions, lift lobbies, stairs, washrooms and end-of-trip facilities, with branded hoardings, safe routes and weekend working for noisy work.

Who we work for

Shorter voids and floors that let. We refresh vacant space to Cat A while the rest of the building keeps its income.

"Six months of works and not one tenant complaint reached us. We'd forget they were in the building."
