Office Refurbishments & Refits

Why Your Office Refurbishment Matters More Than You Think

If you’re thinking about refurbishing your office, you’re likely doing it for a good reason. Maybe your current space feels outdated, your team is growing, and the layout no longer works, or your brand has evolved, and you need your workplace to reflect it. Whatever the reason, your office environment plays a critical role in how your business is perceived, how your staff perform, and how your clients feel when they walk through the door.

Well-executed office refurbishments will do more than just make the space look better. It can improve employee wellbeing, boost productivity, reflect your brand identity more accurately, and even help you attract and retain talent. If you have ever looked into refurbishing your space, you’ll know it can quickly become overwhelming, coordinating contractors, planning the layout, managing budgets, and keeping disruption to a minimum.

This is where ETS Group can help with planning, design, execution, and finishing.

Rather than handing you a brochure and expecting you to pick everything up, ETS takes the time to understand your goals, your people, how your business works, and your budget. Every refurbishment is approached as a collaborative project, designed to deliver the best outcome for you, not just something that looks good in a portfolio.

If you’re looking for a refurbishment that adds real value to your business and helps you get more from the space you already have, ETS Group can help. Give us a call on 0117 9414 666 today, use our contact us page or send us an email, and one of our team will answer any questions you may have.

Bespoke Office Refurbishments

If you’re exploring the idea of an office refurbishment, you might be wondering: what exactly does it involve? Is it just a fresh coat of paint and new carpets, or something more?

Office refurbishments can mean very different things depending on your needs. At its most basic, a refurbishment might involve updating lighting, replacing flooring, or modernising your furniture. But it can also extend to reconfiguring the layout, installing new mechanical and electrical systems, enhancing meeting areas, improving air quality, or creating breakout spaces that boost morale and collaboration.

Office refurbishments will breathe new life into your workplace without the cost or disruption of moving premises.

What’s the difference between a refurbishment and a fit-out?

A refurbishment typically applies to an office that’s already in use. You may want to modernise the space, improve energy efficiency, or realign the layout to better suit how your team currently works, especially with hybrid or flexible work patterns becoming more common.

A fit-out is usually for a brand-new space. It involves turning a blank canvas into a functional office, installing walls, electrics, plumbing, air-conditioning, flooring, lighting, and everything else needed to make it work-ready.

With ETS Group, both services are available; whether you’re transforming your current workspace or preparing a new one from scratch, you can get the support you need from an experienced and certified partner.

Why would you consider a refurbishment?

Here are just a few of the reasons businesses decide it’s time to invest in their space:

You’ve outgrown your layout – Maybe your team is expanding or you’re collaborating in new ways that your current space doesn’t support.
Staff wellbeing matters more than ever – Natural light, better ventilation, and ergonomic design are no longer optional extras; they’re expected.
You want to reflect your brand – Your office is an extension of your identity. If it doesn’t match who you are or how you work, it’s holding you back.
Energy costs are rising – Upgrading your lighting, heating, and cooling systems could save you thousands over time.
You’re preparing for the future – Whether it’s flexible working, hot-desking or more remote collaboration, your space needs to adapt.

A refurbishment isn’t just a makeover; with the right partner, like the team at ETS, you will be aligning your environment with your goals, and with us, it’s easier than you think. Whether you’re modernising a single workspace or refurbishing multiple locations, ETS Group delivers tailored solutions that support your brand, people, and future plans. Call us on 0117 9414 666 to arrange your no-obligation consultation.

ETS Group’s Distinctive Approach

There are lots of companies that offer bespoke office refurbishments. Some will promise quick turnarounds; others will focus on low cost. ETS Group’s approach to your project is unique from the start and affects every stage of the process.

We provide a comprehensive package for design and development. In partnership, we will discuss your needs and budget and make your ideas a reality with our experience and input using 3D imaging, graphics, renderings, and digital mockups. These all show what you’re getting and any changes you may want before work starts. You will have a project timeline before we start your refurbishment, and you will be assigned a project manager who will be your point of contact throughout your refurbishment.

You Are Involved From the Start

If you’ve ever worked with contractors who made decisions without fully understanding your needs, you’ll know how frustrating that can be. ETS Group transforms that experience completely.

Your project starts with a conversation with our planning team. Using our extensive experience, we ask the right questions and make sure we understand your business, your team, your goals, and what success looks like from your perspective. Whether it’s creating a space that improves collaboration, supports wellbeing, or reflects your brand image more clearly, everything is tailored around you and your business.

There’s no pressure to fit into a pre-designed layout or package. ETS believes the best spaces come from partnership, not prescription.

Designed Around Your Brand and People

Effective office refurbishments are about functionality and identity. Our ETS team designs everything with your brand and culture in mind, so your space reflects your business.

Whether you desire a sleek and modern aesthetic, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, or a practical and minimalist design, the result will bring a sense of uniqueness and individuality, rather than being a copy from someone else’s office.

ETS understands that office refurbishments aren’t a vanity project; they are an investment in your business. Therefore, we consider performance, comfort, and usability in every design decision.

A Family Business That Treats You Like a Partner

ETS Group is a family-run business that has been in operation since 1979, and our experience and knowledge from this time shape the way we work today. All of this means you have the professionalism of a larger organisation, along with the care, consistency, and accountability you expect from a family business that takes pride in every job and project it undertakes.

When working with ETS Group, you’re not handed off from department to department; you’ll deal with people who know your project, understand your goals, and are committed to seeing it through from start to finish.

When your refurbishment is complete, ETS offers ongoing support and advice, and this is why so many of our clients stay with us for years, not just months.

If you are still deciding whether an office refurbishment or office refit is worth the investment, let us show you how we’ve helped businesses like yours create spaces that drive productivity, reduce costs, and leave a lasting impression. Start the conversation today on 0117 9414 666.

What Makes an ETS Group Office Refurbishment Different?

When you’re choosing a partner for your office refurbishment, you’re not just hiring someone to fit new carpets or hang light fittings. You’re trusting us with your whole workspace, where your team spends most of their working hours and where your business represents itself to its customers.

Everything You Need, All Under One Roof

Most office refurbishments involve juggling multiple contractors, electricians, plumbers, decorators, and designers, hoping they all turn up on time and work to the same standard.

When partnering with ETS, you don’t have to worry about a thing, as from electrical and mechanical work to project management and final finishes, everything is handled by our in-house teams. That means fewer moving parts, less hassle for you, and a much smoother experience overall.

With a single point of contact from ETS, your project manager, who thoroughly understands your project, you remain in control.

Experience Across Sectors Means You Get Real Insight

ETS doesn’t just refurbish offices; we’ve worked across commercial properties, retail, hospitality, the public sector, and more. This is significant because we don’t offer a single, universal solution. We bring proven experience in understanding how different businesses work and what makes a space practical, productive, and future-ready.

Whether you need flexible desks, soundproof meeting rooms, breakout zones, or improved energy performance, you’ll benefit from solutions that have been tried, tested, and tailored to environments just like yours.

A Focus on Long-Term Value, Not Just Short-Term Appearance

ETS understands that you’re not refurbishing for today; you’re investing in a space that needs to work for your business in the years to come. This is why we recommend materials, systems, and layouts that are designed to last.

ETS can integrate energy-efficient lighting and upgraded HVAC systems. If you’re concerned about future maintenance, we will help you avoid the design choices that look good on day one but cost you more over time.

Everything we do is geared toward creating a space that delivers a return on investment through happier staff, more efficient operations, and lower ongoing costs.

Timely, Transparent, and Trusted

Time is money. You can’t afford delays, guesswork, or crossed wires, and ETS has earned a reputation for reliability by sticking to schedules, keeping communication open, and doing what they say they will do.

People often choose us for multi-site refurbishment programmes and high-pressure projects. If you have a deadline to meet, we will plan around your operations and minimise disruptions by working out of hours or in phases to keep your business running smoothly.

Our Recent Case Studies

Delivering high-quality refurbishments is one thing, but demonstrating their execution is another. Here are just a few of the projects we have delivered for businesses like yours.

These case studies show how ETS approaches refurbishment differently: with attention to detail, respect for your time and space, and focus on long-term value, not just short-term aesthetics.

Refurbishment of the Cargill Staff Restaurant

When global food production business Cargill wanted to update its staff restaurant, they turned to ETS Group. They aimed to create a more modern, comfortable space for employees while also improving energy performance and functionality.

ETS managed the electrical and mechanical works, ranging from lighting and power upgrades to ventilation improvements. The result was a better-looking space. These changes created a more enjoyable and efficient environment for their staff, all while ensuring minimal disruption to the day-to-day operations of their business.

This project is an excellent example of how a focused refurbishment can enhance staff wellbeing and support a stronger internal culture without needing a full-scale redesign.

Energy Efficiency Programme for The Gym Group

ETS’s work with The Gym Group demonstrates our ability to manage large-scale rollouts with precision, something especially valuable if your organisation has multiple locations or ambitious sustainability goals.

ETS was tasked with reducing The Gym Group’s carbon footprint across more than 180 sites. Our solution included a national upgrade programme that involved:

Replacing old lighting with energy-efficient LED systems
Installing new air-conditioning units to improve efficiency and comfort
Carrying out mechanical and electrical works without closing the sites

If your business is considering refurbishment to reduce energy costs or meet sustainability targets, The Gym Group’s project shows what is possible when strategy, design, and technical delivery are aligned from day one.

These examples aren’t just about the finished results; they’re about the process we follow every time, the partnership with each business we work with, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a team that knows how to deliver on time, on budget, and without the usual headaches.

Why Businesses Trust ETS

Trust is essential during office refurbishments. You’re investing in a space that affects how your team works, how your clients feel, and how your business operates every day. You need to know that the people you choose to deliver that transformation won’t let you down.

Here’s why so many businesses continue to place their trust in ETS Group.

Over Four Decades of Experience You Can Count On

ETS Group has been delivering high-quality commercial projects since 1979 as a result of sound work, building strong relationships, and following through, year after year, project after project.

When you work with ETS, you benefit from that legacy. You’re not a test case or a learning curve. You’re working with a team that’s seen what works, what doesn’t, and how to solve problems before they even arise.

Clear Communication from Day One

Many refurbishment projects fall apart not just because of the workmanship but because of poor communication and planning. You may ask for one thing, but something else gets delivered. Changes are made without your sign-off. Timelines slip without explanation.

ETS works differently:

From the very first conversation, we focus on the details and gain clarity. You’ll always know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and who’s responsible. You won’t be chasing updates or guessing what stage the job is at. Instead, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact who keeps you informed and involved at every step.

Consistency Across Every Site and Every Team

If you’re refurbishing multiple sites or planning to expand your project in phases, you need consistency. You don’t want one location finished to a high standard while another falls short. You need the same quality, the same processes, and the same level of care throughout.

That’s something ETS is known for. National brands like The Gym Group choose ETS because they know they can deliver consistent results across dozens or even hundreds of sites without sacrificing attention to detail.

A Team That Takes Pride in the Outcome

We are a family-run business built on our reputation, and we care about getting things right. You’re not just a client; you’re a partner, and your satisfaction is the measure of a job well done.

We don’t walk away once the last fixture is fitted. If you need support, changes, or ongoing maintenance, our team at ETS is still there, just a phone call away. That ongoing commitment is one of the key reasons businesses come back to us time and again.

If you’re looking for a refurbishment partner you can rely on to deliver what you ask for and to help you get more from your workspace in the long run, ETS Group is the business for you. Get in touch with the team today.
