Frequently Asked Questions
What types of refurbishment services do you provide?
We provide comprehensive exterior refurbishment, including render repair and replacement, cladding installation and upgrades, commercial window replacement, entrance and reception area modernisation, external cleaning and restoration, signage removal and installation, lighting upgrades, and landscaping improvements. We also coordinate internal refurbishment of vacant properties, readying them for market. Our services cover everything from minor repairs to complete building transformations.
How long does a typical refurbishment project take?
Project timelines vary based on scope and building size. Minor repairs, such as render patching or entrance door replacement, are typically completed within one to two weeks. Window replacement for a small office building usually takes two to three weeks. Complete exterior refurbishment, including cladding or render replacement for a medium-sized commercial building, generally requires a longer timeline. Large projects involving multiple buildings or complex work may extend to three to four months. We provide detailed project schedules during the quotation phase and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your operations.
Do you work on occupied buildings?
Yes, we regularly work on occupied commercial buildings. We schedule work to minimise disruption to your tenants and operations. Our teams work outside peak hours when needed, maintain clear communication with building occupants throughout, coordinate access carefully, and ensure safe pedestrian routes at all times. We've completed numerous refurbishment projects on fully occupied office buildings, retail premises, and industrial sites, with operations continuing normally throughout. Many of our clients don't relocate during refurbishment because we manage disruption so effectively.
Can you help with building compliance and regulations?
Absolutely. Compliance is central to our refurbishment work. All our projects meet current UK building regulations, including fire safety requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022, accessibility standards, energy efficiency guidelines, and planning requirements. We handle the necessary notifications to Building Control, secure the required certifications, coordinate with local planning authorities where needed, and ensure your building remains fully compliant throughout and after the refurbishment. We also advise on upcoming regulatory changes that may affect your property.
Can you help prepare vacant properties for letting?
Yes, vacant property refurbishment is one of our specialisms. We help property owners prepare empty buildings for market quickly and cost-effectively. Our vacant property services include exterior cleaning and restoration to remove grime and graffiti; entrance modernisation to create a positive first impression; signage removal from previous tenants; minor repairs to address visible damage; internal decoration where required; compliance upgrades to meet current regulations; security improvements; and landscaping to enhance kerb appeal. We understand that void periods cost you money, so we work efficiently to prepare your property for viewings. Many of our clients see their vacant properties let within weeks of completion at rental rates significantly higher than they achieved before refurbishment.
Do you work across the UK?
Yes, we provide commercial property refurbishment services across the UK. Our teams operate across the UK, ensuring rapid response and consistent service quality nationwide. We regularly work on commercial properties in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, and throughout regional towns and cities. Distance is no barrier to quality service. We understand that void periods cost you money, so we work efficiently to prepare your property for viewings. Many of our clients see their vacant properties let within weeks of completion at rental rates significantly higher than they achieved before refurbishment.
How do I know if my building needs refurbishment?
Common signs include visible render cracks, staining, or blown sections; faded, damaged, or non-compliant cladding; draughty, damaged, or inefficient windows; tired, dated, or unwelcoming entrance areas; tenant complaints about building condition or appearance; difficulty attracting quality tenants during viewings; increasing maintenance and repair costs; failed compliance inspections or insurance surveys; and visible damage from vandalism, graffiti, or weather exposure. If you're unsure, our free property assessment identifies priorities and provides clear recommendations. We'll visit your site, evaluate the condition, explain what needs attention, outline your options, and provide cost estimates. There's no obligation and no pressure.

We'll arrange a convenient time to visit your site, evaluate your building's condition, discuss your priorities, timeline, and budget, photograph areas requiring attention, and provide a detailed quotation typically within five working days. Our quotations include a clear scope of work, materials specifications, project timeline, cost breakdown, and warranty information. There's no obligation, and we're happy to answer questions throughout the process.
