Our services

Commercial spaces, delivered with purpose.

The best commercial spaces don’t simply look impressive. They make businesses work better. From the first idea to the finished space, and beyond, we bring together everything needed to create, transform and maintain them.

What we do

One coordinated service, built around your space.

Every commercial space comes with its own priorities, pressures and possibilities. You may be starting a new venture, expanding, moving into a new building, adapting an existing environment, preparing a property for another occupier or bringing an ageing space back up to standard.

Whether it’s a complete fit-out, a refurbishment, specialist works or ongoing maintenance, we adapt our approach around what your space needs now and what it may need next.

From design and construction to furniture, compliance and facilities management, we coordinate it all around your property, your budget and the people who will use the space, across Bristol and the wider South West.

Commercial fit-out

A commercial fit-out turns an empty or unfinished property into an environment that’s ready for business. Whether you’re moving into new premises, opening another location or creating a new way of working, the finished space has to support your vision, reflect your organisation and be ready when you need it.

By managing every element as one connected project, we give you clarity over responsibilities, programme and budget, and a finished space that works as a whole.

What’s included

  • Space planning and interior design
  • Partitions, ceilings and flooring
  • Mechanical and electrical works
  • Lighting and data
  • Kitchens, washrooms and staff facilities
  • Bespoke joinery and finishing details
  • Decoration, branding and signage
  • Furniture supply and installation

Commercial refurbishment

Not every property needs to be rebuilt. Sometimes the greatest value comes from understanding what can be kept, what needs to change and where investment will make the biggest difference.

Whether you’re modernising an ageing workplace, improving customer-facing areas or making room for a growing team, we improve how your space looks, feels and performs without replacing things unnecessarily.

What’s included

  • Reconfigured layouts and better use of space
  • Updated finishes
  • Modernised kitchens, washrooms and shared facilities
  • Improved lighting, flooring and decoration
  • Changes for operational or accessibility needs
  • Phased work to reduce disruption

Design & build

A successful commercial space starts with more than an attractive design. It has to reflect how your organisation works, how people move through it and what the project needs to achieve commercially.

Our design and build service puts creative thinking and practical delivery in one coordinated process, so layout, materials, cost, compliance and buildability are considered together from day one. That means clearer communication, fewer gaps and one team accountable throughout.

What’s included

  • Initial consultation and briefing
  • Site assessment and measured surveys
  • Space planning and concept development
  • Materials, finishes and furniture selection
  • Budget and programme planning
  • Construction and installation
  • Project coordination and handover

From shell to finished space

CAT A, CAT B and CAT C fit-out.

Commercial properties are handed over at different stages of completion. Knowing the difference helps establish what work is needed and who is responsible for it.

  • CAT A The base build.

    Essential building services, ceilings, lighting, raised floors and basic finishes, leaving the space ready for an occupier’s own fit-out.

  • CAT B The finished space.

    Partitions, meeting rooms, kitchens, specialist lighting, flooring, technology, branding, furniture and decorative finishes that turn a base space into your workplace.

  • CAT C The refresh.

    Adapting or improving an existing fit-out, when a new occupier takes over or your current space needs to support new ways of working.

We’ll assess your property’s current condition, help you choose the right level of fit-out and guide you from empty shell or inherited interior to a space that’s truly yours.

Dilapidations & reinstatement

At the end of a commercial lease, tenants may need to return the premises to the condition set out in their lease, and landlords may need work done before a property can be let again.

We work with tenants, landlords, property managers and professional teams to agree the scope and complete it efficiently. With lease deadlines, building access and costs to manage, careful planning avoids unnecessary delays and expense, and gets the property ready for its next chapter.

What’s included

  • Removal of partitions, fixtures, signage and furniture
  • Reinstatement of original layouts or finishes
  • Repairs to walls, ceilings, floors and joinery
  • Redecoration and making good
  • Alterations to mechanical and electrical services
  • Waste removal and final preparation

Facilities management

A commercial space needs ongoing attention to stay safe, presentable and fit for purpose. Small issues left unresolved can become disruptive and expensive, and changing teams bring new demands.

We provide responsive maintenance support tailored to your property and the people using it. Because we understand how commercial spaces are used, we look beyond the immediate repair to recommend a practical, lasting solution.

What’s included

  • Planned and reactive maintenance
  • Repairs and remedial works
  • Decoration and general upkeep
  • Minor alterations and reconfigurations
  • Coordination of specialist trades
  • Support across multiple premises
  • Improvements as your business evolves

Furniture supply & installation

Furniture isn’t simply the last thing added to a finished room. It shapes how people work, meet, move, rest and interact.

We source, supply and install furniture as part of a wider fit-out or as a standalone service, from reliable, cost-conscious ranges to bespoke pieces made for a particular setting. We consider layout, comfort, durability, appearance and everyday use, so the furniture belongs in the space and supports how it needs to work.

What’s included

  • Desks, task seating and storage
  • Meeting and conference furniture
  • Reception and breakout furniture
  • Hospitality and dining furniture
  • Furniture for education and care settings
  • Bespoke joinery and purpose-made pieces
  • Delivery, assembly and installation
  • Removal or relocation of existing furniture

Fire doors, firestopping & compliance

Fire safety, planned in from the start.

Fire safety protects people, property and the future operation of a building, so requirements must be properly assessed, correctly specified and backed by evidence. Through our sister company, Chameleon Fire Doors and Firestopping Ltd, you can access passive fire protection and compliance expertise as part of a wider project or as a dedicated service.

Surveys and inspections, compartmentation, firestopping installation and remediation, fire door installation and repairs, and compliance reporting with photographic records, all coordinated with the rest of the work in your building.

Sectors

Different spaces. Different demands.

Whatever the sector, we start with the same question: what does this space need to do for the people and business using it?

Let’s make your space work.

You don’t need every answer before speaking to us. Whether it’s a complete fit-out, improving an existing space or working out what’s needed, we’ll help you define the next step and build the right team around it.
