Office Refurbishment Planning & Project Management
Whiteleys helps simplify the office refurbishment process by coordinating design, furniture supply and installation services from the initial brief through to completion.
Our team works with you to establish your refurbishment priorities, budget and timescales, ensuring the proposed solutions are suited to your workplace and business requirements. We also provide general building advice and guidance on relevant environmental, health and safety considerations where required.
By considering technical installation requirements early and coordinating the different stages and elements of your project, we deliver an efficient, hassle-free refurbishment experience whilst minimising disruption to your day-to-day operations.
Office Space Planning & Design
Effective office refurbishment starts with understanding how your existing workspace is used and identifying opportunities to improve it.
Our in-house space planners and designers can assess your current office layout, conduct site surveys and recommend improvements to workstations, meeting rooms, collaborative areas, storage and general design.
We also help you explore furniture layouts, colours and finishes that reflect your organisation and support the way your team works.
Whiteleys offers a free CAD design service, including 2D and 3D visualisations that allow you to review proposed layouts, explore furniture arrangements and make informed decisions before proceeding with your refurbishment.
Office Furniture Replacement & Upgrades
Replacing outdated or unsuitable office furniture can improve employee comfort, workplace functionality and the overall appearance of your office.
Whiteleys can help you select furniture suited to your existing workspace, team requirements, preferred design and budget. Our extensive range includes:
Rather than selecting individual products in isolation, our team can consider how each element works within the wider office layout.
Bespoke Office Furniture & Storage Solutions
Where standard furniture doesn't fully meet your refurbishment requirements, Whiteleys can provide bespoke office furniture and storage designed around your existing workspace.
Bespoke solutions can be particularly useful for offices with unusual dimensions, restricted floor space or specific operational requirements, helping make better use of areas that standard furniture may not accommodate.
Our bespoke furniture options include desks, meeting tables, lockers and storage units, with designs tailored to your space, preferred finishes and workplace needs.
Office Accessories & Finishing Touches
Alongside furniture and layout changes, Whiteleys can recommend and install additional workplace features, including carpets, blinds, cable management solutions and other office accessories.
By incorporating these elements into your wider refurbishment plans, we can help create a coordinated office environment that looks professional and supports the practical needs of your team.
Office Furniture Delivery & Installation
Whiteleys' experienced in-house installation team manages the delivery and professional installation of your new office furniture and workplace fittings, helping ensure your refurbished workplace is ready for use.
For occupied offices, we understand the importance of maintaining business operations. Our team plans installation around your agreed timescales, working efficiently to minimise downtime and unnecessary disruption.
Once the work is complete, packaging and associated waste are removed from site and responsibly disposed of, leaving your refurbished workplace clean and ready for use.
Featured Office Refurbishment Project
Client: Imperial College London
Location: South Kensington Campus, London
Sector: Education
The Project
Imperial College London undertook a refurbishment of its MBA lounge and adjacent educational areas at its South Kensington Campus, aiming to create a modern, welcoming environment that encouraged social interaction, student wellbeing and academic collaboration.
Whiteleys was appointed to supply furniture for the refurbished spaces, working closely with architects, interior designers and university stakeholders to deliver a practical, durable and cost-effective solution.
The Solution
Whiteleys supplied a range of contemporary furniture, including modular sofas, booth seating, tables and chairs, helping create flexible areas for informal meetings, studying and socialising.
Working alongside the wider project team, Whiteleys coordinated its involvement from planning through to furniture installation, ensuring the agreed work was delivered on time and within budget.
The completed refurbishment transformed the existing lounge into a comfortable, functional and welcoming environment, with positive feedback received from the university and its students.
