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 costs be treated as capital expenditure?
It depends on the nature of the work. Repairs, improvements, fixtures and building alterations can receive different accounting and tax treatment. Your accountant or tax adviser should confirm the appropriate treatment for your project.
What is included in an office refurbishment?
An office refurbishment can include space planning, partitions, ceilings, flooring, lighting, mechanical and electrical works, decoration, furniture, meeting rooms, kitchens, receptions and other workspace improvements. The exact scope depends on the condition of the premises and what you need from the finished space.
Can you refurbish an office while our business remains operational?
Yes. Where the project allows, Acorn Works can phase work or schedule elements outside normal working hours to minimise disruption. The programme is agreed around your operational requirements before work begins.
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.
What is the difference between an office refurbishment and an office fit out?
