JWL Interiors was appointed to carry out the refurbishment of a three-storey office building in Leeds city centre.
The project involved a comprehensive programme of interior works designed to modernise the premises while allowing the building’s day-to-day operations to continue with as little disruption as possible.
A Phased Commercial Office Refurbishment
As the office building remained operational, the refurbishment was planned across three separate stages.
A phased approach allowed work to progress methodically throughout the building while reducing the impact on employees, visitors and the normal running of the premises.
Careful sequencing is particularly important during refurbishment projects in occupied commercial buildings. Different trades, deliveries and work areas must be coordinated effectively to help maintain safe access and keep disruption under control.
The Office Refurbishment Works
The planned refurbishment included:
- New internal partition walls
- Plastering and wall finishes
- New suspended ceilings
- Replacement flooring and carpets
- New internal doors
- Full internal redecoration
Together, these works provided a complete refresh of the office interior rather than addressing individual areas in isolation.
New Office Partition Walls
New partition walls were included to improve the internal layout of the building and create practical spaces suited to the needs of the occupants.
Office partitioning can be used to create private offices, meeting rooms, breakout areas and defined working zones without the need for major structural alterations.
The right partitioning system can also support acoustic performance, fire safety requirements and future flexibility within a commercial space.
Suspended Ceiling Installation
New suspended ceilings formed another important part of the refurbishment programme.
Suspended ceiling systems provide a clean and professional finish while helping to conceal building services such as electrical cabling, ventilation systems and pipework. They also allow easier access for future maintenance and can contribute to the acoustic performance of an office.
Managing Work in an Occupied Office Building
Completing refurbishment work in a working office requires more than good installation.
The programme must account for how the building is used, which areas need to remain accessible and how noisy or disruptive work can be managed around normal business activity.
By dividing the Leeds refurbishment into three stages, JWL Interiors was able to plan the works around the operational requirements of the building.
