Office Refurbishment London

Rap Interiors refurbishes London offices around working teams, transforming tired workspaces without the cost and upheaval of a move. Whether your office needs a design refresh, a layout rebuilt for hybrid working, or a full strip-out and redesign, we plan the works around your business and deliver them seamlessly with our in-house team of experts.

Refurbishment planned around your business

We keep disruption to a minimum wherever possible zoning off work areas and phasing tasks so the rest of your office can keep running. For smaller or more contained works, that often means your team stays in place while we work around them.

For larger refurbishments, we typically plan around a vacant period: completing the works before a new tenancy begins, or agreeing a temporary working arrangement with you while the space is transformed. Either way, we build the programme around your business, not the other way round, and we manage the building management relationship throughout so the rules and logistics never land on your desk.

It’s also usually the right financial call. A refurbishment concentrates your spend on the workspace itself, while a relocation adds rent overlap, dilapidations on the old space, and a full fit out of the new one. If you are weighing the two, we can put honest numbers against both.

What our London refurbishment service includes

  • Layout changes that rebalance the floor for how your team works now, from meeting rooms to collaboration and quiet space.
  • New finishes throughout: flooring, decoration, ceilings, lighting, and joinery.
  • Reception and client-facing areas rebuilt to carry your brand.
  • Acoustic treatment and layered lighting that make an open plan layout  work.
  • Furniture specification, supply and install for the new layout.
  • Dilapidations and CAT A works for tenants leaving premises and landlords preparing theirs.

London refurbishments we have delivered

Our London refurbishment projects cover a range of workplaces and business needs. Recent work includes office refurbishments for Vestey Holdings and WE Soda, a transformation of our existing client Hudl’s Islington workspace, a reception refurbishment for Alcatel Submarine Networks, and an office refurbishment for Access Insurance in south London. Each project involved finding practical ways to improve existing spaces, making them work better for the businesses and people using them.

How a refurbishment with Rap Interiors runs

  • Survey and brief

  • Design

  • Costing and phasing

  • The Works

  • Handover & Aftercare

We start by assessing your existing office, looking at its layout, condition and how the space is currently used. We then discuss your requirements, team needs and what you want the refurbishment to achieve. This gives us a clear brief to work from, helping ensure the finished space addresses any existing issues and better supports the way your business operates.

Using the agreed brief, we develop a layout and design scheme that makes better use of your existing space. This may involve rethinking the floor plan, updating finishes, improving lighting or introducing new furniture and facilities. We present the proposals through plans and visuals, giving you the opportunity to review and approve the design before work begins.

We prepare a detailed, itemised quotation so you understand the costs and scope of the refurbishment. We also put together a phasing plan, scheduling the work to minimise disruption and, wherever possible, allow your team to continue working while the refurbishment takes place. The programme is agreed with you in advance so you know what to expect at each stage.

Your dedicated project manager oversees the refurbishment, coordinating trades, suppliers, site activity and the agreed phasing plan. They liaise directly with you throughout the project, keeping you informed of progress and dealing with any issues as they arise. We take care of the day-to-day management, with a focus on maintaining a safe, organised site and keeping disruption to your business to a minimum.

Once the refurbishment is complete, we walk through the finished space with you to check that everything meets the agreed brief and specification. Any outstanding details are addressed before final sign-off. We then hand over a refreshed, ready-to-use workspace, giving your team an improved environment in which to work.

Frequently asked questions

Can you refurbish our office while we work in it?

Yes. Phased working is an approach we can take for your office refurbishment  in London. We section the floor, sequence the works, and run disruptive trades out of hours, agreeing with you in a phasing plan before anything starts.

How much does an office refurbishment cost in London?

It depends on scope, from a design refresh to a full strip-out and rebuild. Refurbishments usually cost less than an equivalent fit out because the shell and some services remain. A survey and a defined scope produce an accurate quote, which we provide before you commit.

Should we refurbish or relocate?

If your location works and the lease has life in it, refurbishment usually wins on cost and disruption. If you need a different size or area, relocation makes sense. Our team can assist in the decision making process by surveying both options and spaces and offering expert advice to help choose the right solution for your business. 

Do you need landlord consent for refurbishment works?

For works beyond decoration, usually yes. We prepare the drawings and supporting documentation for a licence for alterations and build the approval time into the programme, so consent never becomes the delay.

Do you offer finance options?

Yes we offer finance options allowing you to spread the overall cost across monthly payments freeing up your capital to spend elsewhere in the business.  Find out more here.
