Commercial & Industrial Refurbishment in Somerset
Since 1987, we’ve acted as a trusted partner for businesses needing to evolve their physical footprint. We specialise in commercial and industrial refurbishment in Somerset and across the South West, from Category A and Category B fit-outs to complete structural repurposing.
Our Commercial Refurbishment Services
We deliver a comprehensive strip-out to a handover service. Rather than just cosmetic upgrades, we focus
on the core engineering and fabric repairs that extend a building’s operational life.

Structural Repurposing &
Change of Use
We manage the complex process of changing a building’s internal layout to suit a new operational purpose. From removing load-bearing elements and installing new structural steelwork to the full reconfiguration of heavy utilities.
Industrial & Warehouse Modernisation
We upgrade older units to meet current industrial standards, from the logistics to the dairy sectors. We understand the high-load requirements of heavy machinery and 24/7 operations.
Workplace & Educational Refurb
We create professional business and learning environments through the installation of high-spec partitioning, suspended ceilings, and bespoke internal joinery. Because we use a direct team, we are a preferred choice for schools and offices.
Healthcare & Clinical Refurbishment
Precision is non-negotiable in medical environments. We provide high-specification commercial refurbishments for everything from dental practices to care homes, focusing on CQC compliance and medical-grade finishes.
External Fabric & Heritage Restoration
We refurbish and restore the exterior of commercial and heritage properties. Whether it’s sourcing matching Somerset stone for a historic facade or installing modern, high-performance cladding, we ensure weatherproofness and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have nearly 40 years of experience in live site management. We can coordinate phased builds, out-of-hours shifts, and strict dust and noise control to ensure your business remains operational. Before work begins, we establish a clear logistics plan to keep your staff and customers safe and separated from the construction.
As your Principle Contractor, we take full legal responsibility under the CDM 2015 Regulations. We manage the Construction Phase Plan, site security, and the coordination of all trades.

A well-executed commercial refurbishment is one of the most effective ways to lower utility bills. By modernising the building – from upgrading thermal insulation ro integrating HVAC systems – we can significantly improve your EPC rating and reduce business overheads.
Timelines vary greatly based on scale, but a standard commercial refurbishment in Somerset usually ranges from 4 to 12 weeks. Because our leadership team manage the schedule and costs in-house, we eliminate the “subcontractor lag” that delays most projects.
