Revitalise your workspace with a fresh new look
Transforming offices through expert refurbishment
A well-designed office space has an impact on productivity, morale and office culture. It can be the difference between attracting the great staff your business needs to thrive or them leaving because they have found a better environment elsewhere. As specialists in office refurbishments, APSS guides you through the process, transforming your existing workspace into a modern, efficient and inspiring environment.

Learn moreWhat to consider when planning an office refurb
The first thing you need to confirm is, why do you want an office refurb? Is it to: improve productivity, boost staff morale or keep up with technology?
Consider your budget. We are often asked how much it will cost, and the answer is how long is a piece of string. Depending on the size and spec level of your office refurb, we have worked with clients that have budgets from £10,000 through to £2 million or more. APSS will work with you to create an amazing workspace whatever your budget is.
You also need to consider your employees' needs. If you ensure your staff's needs are met, they will look after your business. This could be anything from providing the right space for collaboration work to providing an on-site gym for them and enabling them to have a better work-life balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Office refurbishment refers to the process of renovating and redesigning an existing office space that you’re already occupying. It’s about more than just a fresh coat of paint - it’s a comprehensive approach to improving the functionality, aesthetics and overall value of your workplace.
Most on-site refurbishments take 8 to 16 weeks, depending on the size of your office and the scope of the work. From the first conversation to the final handover, we recommend allowing 3 to 6 months in total, including planning, approvals, and decision-making.
Our comprehensive services include space planning, design conceptualisation, project management, furniture procurement and installation. We also offer post-refurbishment support and sustainability considerations.
Focus on flexibility, collaboration, wellbeing and technology integration. Your office should support various work styles, foster teamwork, promote health and seamlessly incorporate the necessary tech. Don’t forget about acoustics and lighting - they’re often overlooked but crucial.
No, and we wouldn’t ask you to. We always plan the refurbishment around your team, using a phased approach that allows your business to stay operational with minimal disruption. Works can be scheduled by zone, out of hours or over weekends to suit you.
APSS brings expertise in space optimisation, current design trends and practical solutions. We can spot potential issues before they arise, suggest innovative ideas you might not have considered, and ensure your refurbishment aligns with building regulations and best practices.
Absolutely. A well-executed refurb can increase productivity, improve staff retention, reduce energy costs and enhance your company image. It’s not just about aesthetics - it’s a strategic business move.
Yes. Phased refurbishments are ideal when you're staying in the building. We break the project into manageable stages, often by department or floor, so you can keep working while the changes take place. It’s seamless, flexible, and keeps productivity on track. We can work after hours or on weekends for the most disruptive tasks. Good communication with your team is key - keep them informed and excited about future changes.
We live and breathe office spaces. We understand the unique challenges of commercial environments, from acoustics to workflow optimisation. Our expertise allows us to create solutions that look good and function beautifully for your business.
Consider multi-functional furniture, use colour psychology to your advantage, maximise natural light and create flexible spaces. Small changes like adding plants or improving cable management can make a big difference.
