Doors, blinds and services alterations are extra. Every price is a guide, confirmed in writing after a free site survey.

Yes. The site survey is free and without obligation. A surveyor measures the space, checks ceilings, floors, walls and services in the ceiling void, and talks through your layout, privacy and budget. You then receive a written quotation based on the actual conditions found on site.

Most projects take two to ten weeks from survey to completion. Stud walls can usually start within 1–2 weeks, frameless glass within 2–4 weeks and double glazed within 3–5 weeks of design sign-off. Installation on site often takes only days, because glass is made to measure in advance.

Often, yes. Partitions that create rooms, change escape routes, affect fire separation or alter accessibility usually need Building Control approval. Simple screens that leave these unchanged may not. Glass must meet safety glazing and manifestation guidance in Approved Document K. The survey identifies which approvals your layout is likely to need.

Yes. Noisy work such as drilling can be carried out in the evening, overnight or at weekends, with quieter glazing work during the day. Out-of-hours working typically adds 15–25% to labour costs. Work areas are screened and kept tidy so that your team can carry on working.

Choose single glazing for open, light-filled areas where privacy needs are modest, at around £280–£420 per m². Choose double glazing for meeting rooms and confidential spaces, at around £420–£650 per m², because it gives much better sound insulation and allows integral blinds. Many offices use both.

Usually, yes, with the landlord's consent. Most leases require a licence for alterations before partitioning, and the licence normally says whether partitions must be removed at lease end. Glass and demountable systems are often favoured on shorter leases because they can be removed cleanly and reused.
