Office fit-out Project For Greenhatch in Chippenham

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.

Factory Refuge Area and New Inspection Room in Swindon

Client: Torin
Value: £23k

After successful completion of the office refurbishment and reception refurbishment projects Cre8tive Interiors was commissioned by Torin to create a factory refuge area / breakout space along with a new inspection room within the busy manufacturing site in Swindon.

Factory Refuge Area and New Inspection Room

The client had already designated the area at the end of the factory which was being used for storage so our first step was to measure the space.

The client wanted to create a designated refuge area for the staff with a visual separation from the factory without sacrificing the natural light from the large windows along the front of the building. This was achieved by building a half height 1.5m timber stud partition bolted into the concrete floor. Not our normal partition wall that we build, as usually they are built floor to ceiling. We had to use some heavy duty steel brackets to give strength to the wall. New vinyl anti-slip flooring also enhanced the look of the space making it more welcoming to staff.

The height of the roof in that part of the factory was nearly 6m high. A bit of a problem as if we fixed to the roof we would have to use jumbo stud; increasing costs; additional labour; scaffold towers, and taking much longer to build. We discussed the options with the client and decided the best way to build the inspection room was to make it lower, and fix a lid / top over it. This would still create a clean and bright inspection room. We dropped a suspended ceiling at 2.7m inside the walls to enable bright LED panels to be fitted above the inspection area. A pair of double doors were installed for easy access and new grey vinyl floor.

The new partitions were built very quickly using 3m high partitions for the inspection room and half height timber partitions for the refuge area. All partitions were tape and jointed and painted white for a crisp clean look.

The new inspection room had a pair of double doors painted grey while the refuge area had a new anti-slip vinyl flooring installed in a light grey colour.

The new suspended ceiling used a modern flat white tile with new bright LED panels giving much better lighting for the inspection team.

The finished refuge area was clean and modern.  The half height partitions gave a good level of privacy for those eating at a table without sacrificing natural light to the factory.

The new inspection room was clean with bright LED lighting and double doors for easy access.

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.

Work in Progress

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.

The finished offices and meeting rooms looks clean, fresh and modern with much better lighting levels ready for the new furniture to be installed.
