Frequently Asked Questions
Why is office refurbishment important?
Workplace design directly influences concentration, wellbeing, and productivity. A strategic refurbishment can include ergonomic furniture, natural lighting, and flexible workspaces — all of which help retain staff and enhance performance.
How long does an office refurbishment take?
Smaller updates such as meeting room redesigns may take a few days, while larger commercial projects can span several weeks. We plan around your schedule and offer out-of-hours work where possible.
How much does an office refurbishment cost?
Every project is different. We provide tailored quotes for everything from affordable modern office furniture installations to high-end commercial office refurbishment. Clear pricing. No surprises.
Can office refurbishment be capitalised?
Yes. If it improves function, adds long-term value, or extends asset life, it’s often a capital expense. Speak to your accountant for tailored advice.
What should be in a meeting or conference room?
Meeting rooms are best for informal team collaboration. Conference rooms suit client presentations and larger gatherings. We’ll design yours with modular layouts, executive furniture, and smart AV solutions.
Can you work outside business hours?
Absolutely. We understand the need to avoid disruption. We can phase the work or operate during evenings and weekends.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work with SMEs, public sector organisations, schools, and large corporates. Our clients span industries from tech to healthcare across East Anglia.
Do I need planning permission for an office refurbishment?
Not always — it depends on the scale of the work. Most internal office refurbishments don’t require planning permission, but if you’re changing the building’s use, layout, or structure (e.g. adding walls or windows), approval may be needed. We’ll advise you during the consultation and handle any Building Control submissions where required.

Tips for a stress-free office refurbishment
1. Note down what’s important to you
And then tell your dedicated project manager! They will guide you through your choices and make sure that your priorities remain front and centre throughout the project.
2. Know what you’re getting
A full survey and in-depth discussions will be translated into your bespoke specification and proposal. AutoCAD drawings and 3D walkthrough graphics will allow you to ‘see’ your new offices at proposal stage.
3. Remember planning consent & building control
If the project requires building control or planning consent, our expert team can liaise directly with your local authority on your behalf. You get the office you want, minus the hassle, whilst still ensuring a safe, comfortable and fully compliant work environment.
4. Go green
Reduce your energy consumption and stay in control of your bills while burnishing your eco-credentials. Your office can be complemented with air or ground-source heat pumps, ventilation with heat recovery, solar PV installations with low energy LED lighting and high levels of insulation.
