Commercial Refurbishment Contractors Office Fit-Out & Retail Refurbishment Specialists
Premium Commercial Refurbishment | Competitive Pricing | Minimal Business Disruption
Last month, a Knightsbridge retail boutique contacted us on Friday afternoon complete shop refurbishment was needed urgently before the seasonal launch on Monday morning. Competitor commercial refurbishment companies quoted 10 working days minimum. Our family coordinated intensive weekend work: complete electrical rewire (NICEIC daughters), new shop lighting, flooring replacement, decoration, and shopfront restoration. The shop opened on Monday at 9 am as scheduled. Cost: £28,500. Client avoided losing £80,000+ projected opening weekend revenue.
That’s commercial refurbishment done properly: rapid mobilisation, coordinated family trades, business priorities understood, deadlines met absolutely.

Commercial refurbishment fails at the handover point between trades.
The electrician finishes first-fix, and the mechanical contractor is two weeks behind. The partition installer cannot start until the floor screed has cured, but the screed team left site on Friday. The decoration contractor arrives, and the second-fix electrical is incomplete. Every gap between subcontracted trades adds days to the programme and costs the client money in extended preliminaries, in delayed occupation, and in the management time spent chasing contractors who answer to different companies.
We eliminate every gap. Gas Safe engineers, NICEIC electricians, builders, joiners, and decorators all directly employed, all coordinated by one project manager, all sequenced on a single programme. The Kensington accountancy firm phased refurbishment across four weeks, staff operational throughout, completed £82,000. The Chelsea law firm seven weekend-intensive programme, zero business days lost, £125,000. One team. One programme. One fixed price.
Call 020 7129 7418 for a free commercial refurbishment consultation.
Commercial Refurbishment: all trades in-house, NICEIC-approved electricians for all power, lighting, data infrastructure, fire alarms, and emergency lighting. Gas Safe registered engineers for commercial plumbing, heating, ventilation, and kitchen gas connections. Directly employed builders for all construction, partitions, joinery, and decoration. City & Guilds qualified throughout.
No subcontractors means one point of contact for every trade on the programme. No communication gaps between electrical and mechanical. No waiting for a subcontractor’s availability before the next stage can begin. No finger-pointing when a programme delay needs explaining.
The Kensington accountancy firm confirms what this delivers in practice electrical, mechanical, building, and decoration coordinated precisely across four weeks, phased to keep front offices operational during weeks one and two and back offices during weeks three and four. Staff worked throughout. Clients were unaware of the works.
One project manager. One programme. One fixed price. Call 020 7129 7418.
Commercial refurbishment scheduling: the programme is built around your operational requirements, not ours.
Out-of-hours working evenings, weekends, and bank holidays where the specification requires it. The Chelsea law firm programme: demolition and first-fix across weekends one to three, second-fix and decoration across weekends four to six, furniture installation weekend seven. Monday to Friday throughout, staff at their desks, clients unaware. Seven weekends. Zero business days lost.
Phased refurbishment sections completed sequentially while the remainder stays operational. The Kensington accountancy firm: front offices weeks one and two, back offices weeks three and four. Staff relocated within the building, not off-site. No client-facing disruption.
Rapid mobilisation materials pre-ordered before programme start, team scheduled before contract signature. Quick start capability reduces the gap between instruction and occupation.
Extended hours and longer working days compress the calendar duration. One week at ten-hour days delivers the same output as ten days at standard hours, with the programme completing in half the calendar time.
Week-by-week programme confirmed with every fixed price quotation. Call 020 7129 7418.
Commercial refurbishment pricing every quotation is itemised, fixed, and complete. No subcontractor margins. No hidden extras appearing after contract signature.
Every fixed price quotation includes:
Complete scope of works every element specified, nothing left as a provisional sum without agreement. Labour costs broken down by trade. Materials costs itemised by category. Equipment and plant costs. Professional fees Building Control, structural engineers where required. Week-by-week programme with key milestones. Payment schedule linked to completion stages. Exclusions stated clearly before the contract is signed.
No subcontractor markups all trades directly employed means the 20-30% subcontractor margin that most commercial refurbishment companies build into their pricing is not in ours. Direct material supply through established commercial supplier relationships passes trade pricing directly to the client.
The price on the quotation is the price on the invoice. All prices exclude VAT. Call 020 7129 7418.
Commercial refurbishment materials specified for the application, not the margin.
Flooring: commercial carpet tiles (Interface, Milliken), commercial vinyl (Polyflor), commercial-grade engineered wood.
