Flooring

We have a wide knowledge of commercial flooring types, which includes Broadloom/Carpet Tiles, Vinyl/Vinyl tiles, Marmoleum, Solid Timber, Laminates, Natural Flooring, Safety Flooring, ESD Flooring, Entrance Barrier Matting - all of which are installed by our flooring specialist. The flooring you choose will depend on a number of factors including use of the area, corporate image, final ‘feel’ required, budget constraints, environmental considerations - we are able to provide you with advice on all these matters.

We have a number of direct accounts with various flooring manufacturers including Desso, Armstrong, Paragon, and have access to the majority of the market including Interface, Miliken, Polyflor.

Ceilings

There is a wide range of different ceiling finishes that may be achieved; however, the two main methods of providing a new ceiling are Suspended Grid Ceilings or Fixed Plasterboard Ceilings. We are able to offer both of these solutions for clients.

Suspended Ceilings are formed using an exposed or concealed grid system suspended from the soffit. Suspended ceilings offer good acoustic performance and allow easy access above the ceiling for installation and maintenance of the buildings services. They also offer an effective way of providing lighting to the office by way of lay-in light fittings installed into the ceiling grid or feature lighting to requirements.

Plasterboard ceilings are formed using a rigid metal frame which is fixed to the soffit, then plasterboard panels are mechanically fixed to the metal frame before the ceiling is skimmed with plaster to a smooth finish and decorated. Plasterboard ceilings provide a clean look to a room and offer the ability to create design features for receptions and other areas where a particular impact is required. Hatches are an option if required for access to services.

We are able to supply and install the majority of ceiling products from some of the leading manufacturers including AMF, Armstrong, British Gypsum, Donn, and Lafarge.

Decoration

A working environment can be effectively altered by the correct use of colour in the workplace. The walls and other hard surface of your office can be decorated in a wide range of finishes: paint (and paint effects) or the application of wall coverings from paper or fabric-backed vinyls through to writable wall coverings. Timber can also be transformed by a number of methods from straightforward repainting to full stripping and redecoration.

We supply experienced decorators to undertake projects throughout the UK and are able to work either in normal hours or out of hours to complete works in a timely manner with as little disruption to your business as possible.

Blinds

How the light in a room is controlled is an important factor in the workplace, not only to create the right atmosphere but also to ensure that staff work in an environment that is good for their health. Window blinds can be used to reduce the amount of light entering an office, thus providing the correct light level for office tasks including the use of PC screens. Blinds can also be used to increase privacy and security in certain areas.

We offer a full made-to-measure service that includes site survey, explanation of products, fabrication and installation. All types of blind can be supplied including Venetian, Roller, Vertical, Blackout, Rooflights and Window Manifestation. We can also offer security grilles and shutters.

Partitions

The use of space is essential to all businesses. How that space is divided up is equally important. Partitioning can be used to create designated areas within the office space to cater for numerous areas which may need to be kept separate - these may include Reception/Waiting Areas, Meeting Rooms, Breakout Areas/Kitchens, Store Rooms, and Secure Areas.

We provide a no-obligation, free site survey to enable us to discuss your requirements, explain the different options and assess the quantities of materials required. Following on from the survey we will provide you with a quotation.

All types of partitioning can be provided including aluminium, steel, timber or fully glazed. Partition options are catered to suit your requirements, sound-proofing, fire-rating and visual effect.

Glazed Partitions

Fully-glazed partitioning can be installed using a silicone or dry joint with manifestation to the glass. Double-glazed windows with integral blinds may also be incorporated, and the doors to the partitioning may be veneered or glass depending on the system used.

We are suppliers of Avanti Systems, SAS and Nevill Long’s Longline Partitioning products.

Being a furniture distributor we are able to source and purchase from alternative manufacturers to help achieve our clients' needs.

As part of our service we offer FREE space planning and advice as well as furniture samples and literature when required. Our project/technical/sales teams are happy to assist, no matter the size of a project. We pride ourselves on a personal but professional service.

As we offer a wide range of services, we have managed to keep our furniture margins low, which enables us to be extremely competitive, especially against those who deal solely within the furniture sector.

Office Moves and Relocation

When you relocating from one office to another you want the move to be completed with as little disruption as possible - through the use of our regular office move team we are able to meet this need. The key to an effective move is careful and detailed planning to ensure all goes well.

Space Planning

How your office space is used is key to an efficient and productive company with a happy and comfortable workforce. From a new, blank canvas design to a re-shuffle to accommodate additional staff or equipment, a fully manageable CAD drawing will be provided, making allowance for health and safety, building regulations and, just as important, the look and feel of your new working environment.

Turnkey/Project Management

The finished look and feel of your office has a large effect on the productivity of your staff. A well designed office environment is achieved by way of effective project management to ensure that all elements of the project are delivered and completed not only on time but to your satisfaction.
