Decorating a business-park office suite
Office suites are decorated for one of two reasons: a lease is ending, or the space no longer reflects the business. The two briefs look completely different on paper and on programme.
Dilapidations and lease-end work
Lease-end decoration is about meeting a schedule, not expressing a brand. We work from the schedule of condition, price against it and document completion so the negotiation is straightforward.
Scope priced line by line against the schedule
Neutral specification appropriate to reletting

Refreshing a working office
For an occupied suite, phasing matters more than speed. Floor-by-floor or zone-by-zone with evening finishes keeps desks in use and avoids a mass relocation.
Large open plans and ceilings
Open floor plates are the clearest case for spray application. Cleared areas coat quickly and evenly, with meeting rooms and cellular offices detailed by hand.
3 questions we get about this building type
- Can you work to a dilapidations schedule?
- Yes — we price against the schedule and document the work so it can be signed off cleanly.
- Do we need to move staff out?
- Rarely all at once. Zoned working with evening phases keeps most of the floor in use throughout.
- How quickly can a suite be turned round?
- An empty suite is usually days rather than weeks. Occupied work takes longer by design.
