Refurbishment or Refit – What’s Right for Your Business?
The terms “office refurbishment” and “office refit” are often used interchangeably, but they can mean slightly different things.
An office refurbishment typically involves improving and modernising an existing workspace - upgrading furniture, rethinking layouts, improving storage and refreshing the overall working environment.
An office refit can involve more substantial reconfiguration - redesigning layouts, creating new zones, installing partitions, and fully transforming how a space functions.
In practice, most projects combine elements of both. Our role is to understand how your business works and design a solution that supports productivity, flexibility and future growth.
A Furniture-Led Approach to Office Refurbishment
Unlike traditional contractor-led refurbishments, our projects are workspace-led.
We specialise in:
- Intelligent space planning using CAD layouts
- Supplying and installing new office furniture
- Incorporating high-quality used office furniture to control costs
- Managing clearance and responsible recycling
- Coordinating trusted subcontractors where required
- Delivering phased and out-of-hours works
Because we supply both new and premium used furniture, we can often deliver refurbishment projects at a significantly lower cost than traditional build-only providers without compromising on quality or finish.
Designed for Modern Working
Workspaces have changed.
We help businesses across Devon and Cornwall adapt their offices to support:
- Hybrid working models
- Shared desk environments
- Collaborative breakout areas
- Secure storage and GDPR-compliant filing
- Training and hub spaces
- Flexible meeting rooms
From healthcare environments in Torquay to coworking spaces in Barnstaple, we design offices that reflect how people actually work today.
Minimal Disruption, Carefully Managed
Office refurbishment doesn’t have to mean operational chaos.
With detailed planning completed in advance, much of the disruption is removed before installation begins. Depending on the size and scope of the project, many office fit-outs can be completed within a day or two.
We also offer:
- Phased project delivery
- Out-of-hours installation
- Planned works during holiday periods
- Clear scheduling to reduce downtime
Our aim is simple: improve your workspace without interrupting your business.
Recent Office Refurbishment Projects
Our experience spans commercial offices, education, healthcare, charity organisations and specialist environments.
In Torquay, we completed a full office overhaul MW Benney — removing and responsibly recycling existing furniture before installing over 80 new workstations. Several skip loads of usable furniture were diverted from landfill as part of the project.
In Barnstaple, we prepared fully furnished storage container offices for Eagle Plant Hire, ready for deployment to active building sites — delivering functional, ready-to-use workspaces.
In Exeter, we delivered a phased office upgrade for Mantracourt Electronics, completed between Christmas and New Year to minimise disruption. The project included removal and recycling of old furniture, followed by installation of sit-stand desks, ergonomic seating and new storage solutions.
In South Molton, we furnished the newly refurbished Libra School space with sit-stand desks and flexible workspace furniture.
In Bideford, we supplied a mix of high-quality used and new furniture for Thomas Linear to furnish a newly renovated office — achieving a professional finish while maintaining budget control.
