Client: Greenhatch
Value: £64k

Following a period of sustained growth Greenhatch Group was looking to move from a smaller leased office to the purchase of a new office unit.

The new unit was a great size and had a really good location but it had had been left in dilapidated state and would need striping out and fitting out to make it fit for purpose.

Greenhatch engaged us early in the process to ensure they knew the costs involved to get what they wanted from the space.

Strip-out and Fit-out of the New Office

The current office space was split over two floors with lots of very old and dated partitioning separating the space into lots of smaller offices with narrow corridors.

Once we had drawn the existing office on CAD we were able to strip away the partitioning and provide options to the customer on the new layout. The layout included a large open plan office on the first floor for up to ten people with one directors office. On the ground floor the customer wanted a larger kitchen and breakout space along with a large “kit room” for all their specialist equipment.

The office fit-out works for this project included:

stripping out and removing all existing partitioning, kitchen and flooring.
Re-decorating all walls, doors, skirting and architraves using feature wall colours and graphite grey on the doors for a modern look.
New solid partitions to form the Kit room and one side of the directors office.
New glass partition forming the front of the directors office.
All new flooring using carpet tiles in the office with anti slip vinyl throughout the toilets, kitchen and kit room.
A new modern grey kitchen with an integrated fridge.
A large amount of electrical work including a new fuse board, nearly 60 double sockets in flexible 2-compartment trunking, 32 data points and new extraction for the kitchen.

Work in Progress

The strip-out and office fit-out was completed very quickly as we had vacant possession of the building as soon as the customer completed the purchase of the building and were given a window of time before they needed to move in.

The strip out went very smoothly although the old carpet was extremely difficult to uplift as the previous owner had used more of a domestic type carpet with a really strong glue.

The walls are all a crisp bright white however the back wall of the main office was painted in a bright green which is more in line with the new corporate colours and matches the chairs the customer has.

The new carpet tiles looked great using a subtle striped pattern in a chequerboard pattern adds interest while the pattern hides any stains or wear to keep it looking new for longer. Carpet tiles were just for the upstairs space and stairs.

The doors were painted grey to look much more modern than the old wooden doors, along with fresh stainless steel ironmongery. The new kitchen had a concrete worktop and stainless steel sink. The new flooring downstairs was grey anti-slip vinyl flooring.

The completed office fit-out looked clean, fresh and modern with brighter and more open plan spaces and more importantly, the customer was very pleased with the finished result.

Reception and Boardroom Refurbishment in Swindon

Client: Torin
Value: £32k

Cre8tive Interiors was commissioned by Torin to carry out a reception refurbishment as well as a boardroom upgrade. Torin is a busy manufacturing site in Swindon and the work was needed urgently ahead of some important meetings.

The customer had been let down by another refurbishment company leaving them only a matter of weeks to upgrade the customer journey ahead of the meeting. Torin were very impressed that we visited the next day, took a project brief along with measurements and having a good look around. We then produced a detailed proposal quote with an ideas board to show finishes and how it could look. They were very happy with the response and the proposals and we were on site the next week starting work.

Once we started the work, they wanted us to have a look at the boardroom as well.

Existing Reception and Boardroom

Our first step was to measure the space and discuss with the client what they are hoping to achieve. In this case the brief was relatively simple, they just wanted the reception and boardroom to look a little bit cleaner and more modern ready for an important meeting.

The existing space looked very tired overall, with many marks in the carpet. The suspended ceiling had very old looking ceiling tiles, (fissured) which were sagging and stained in places.

We discussed with the client the quickest and most cost effective ways of achieving a clean and modern look which included:

Replacing the ceiling tiles for flat white modern tiles to give a cleaner look to the ceiling.
Replacing the flooring using a modern wood effect vinyl in the reception. This would be much easier to clean than carpet. As the space is also a high traffic area it would last much longer than carpet. The plan was then to provide new carpet into boardroom in a modern grey colour.
A general re-decoration of all walls, doors, skirting and architrave to ensure everything looks clean fresh.
Upgrading the look of the stairwell by re-painting all of the metalwork and installing vinyl onto the treads with anti-slip stair nosing’s to remove the work effect on the staircase.
Installing modern wooden slatwall panelling into the reception and boardroom to give a modern feature wall for their TV and signage.

Timing was most important for the client so once we had the brief we worked out the costs and produced the quote the following day with the aim of being on site the following week.

The finished reception refurbishment and boardroom upgrade looks clean, fresh and modern whilst also being much more practical with easy to clean flooring and much better lighting levels.

The space was completed with time to spare for the clients meetings and allowed them time to add the finishing touches like some new furniture.

Office Refurbishment Project in Swindon

Client: Torin
Value: £91k

After successful completion of the reception refurbishment, and boardroom upgrade project, Cre8tive Interiors was commissioned by Torin to continue with the main office refurbishment phase.

The client really liked how quickly we responded and the feedback from the staff was very positive to the clean and fresh look of the reception and boardroom.

Refurbishment of the Main Office

Our first step was to measure the full extent of the space, which included a very large main office along with a number of smaller managers offices and meeting rooms and even a small kitchen.

The existing space just looked very tired overall, with lots of marks in the carpet and dated fissured ceiling tiles which were sagging and stained in places along with very dated furniture.

The client wanted to continue a clean and modern look which we had already provided on the reception and boardroom project so this new project also included:

Replacing the suspended ceiling / installing new using flat white modern tiles to give a cleaner look to the ceiling.
Replacing the flooring using a modern wood effect vinyl in the kitchen and walkways. Due to the manufacturing nature of their business, the walkways attracted much more wear. The vinyl flooring was much easier to clean and longer lasting. The new carpet tiles in the main office and meeting rooms had a modern grey plain colour / pattern.
A general re-decoration of all walls, doors, skirting and architrave to ensure everything looks clean fresh and moves away from the bold orange future walls.
Dry-lining the printed breeze block wall to give a much smoother look the to office.
Removing all old redundant radiators from the walls before re-decoration.

The office refurbishment was completed in two phases by doing all of these smaller meeting rooms lobby and kitchen first before starting on the main office which minimised disruption to the business.

The new suspended ceiling used a modern flat white tile which looks much cleaner than the old fissured tiles making the space much more light and airy.

The walls are all a crisp bright white however the pillars were painted in a teal blue which is more in line with the new corporate colours and adds a nice little colour detail.

The new wood effect vinyl flooring looks great whilst being super hard wearing and easy to clean.

The new carpet tiles in the office were a modern light grey making the space much lighter especially with the new ceiling tiles, LED lighting and fresh decorations.
