Office Renovation across Liverpool Street & Bishopsgate (EC2, EC3). Office renovation — modernising existing space without a full strip-out and re-fit. Targeted upgrades to layout, finishes, lighting and M&E, delivered while teams remain in occupation.
Office Renovation across Liverpool Street & Bishopsgate (EC2, EC3) is delivered by our in-house commercial team with current estate approvals and compliance records on file. We have completed works in or adjacent to 22 Bishopsgate, 100 Liverpool Street, 1 Appold Street, 5 Broadgate, 201 Bishopsgate among others. Teams mobilise from our London operations base, with direct transport links via Liverpool Street (Elizabeth line, Central, Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City + National Rail + Stansted Express), Moorgate (Elizabeth line, Northern), Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR). Every project is run by a named project manager reporting weekly with photographs and programme RAG. Out-of-hours loading, estate permit-to-work and managing-agent liaison are included in the prelims — not charged as variations.
The Liverpool Street & Bishopsgate market is dominated by global investment banks (ubs, deutsche bank), law firms (herbert smith freehills, reed smith), insurance and reinsurance, each with distinct office renovation requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered office renovation in trophy buildings including 22 Bishopsgate, 100 Liverpool Street, 1 Appold Street, 5 Broadgate.
The Broadgate-to-Bishopsgate corridor is one of London's highest-value commercial clusters — 22 Bishopsgate (the tallest in the Square Mile), the full Broadgate estate (13 buildings, 4m sqft), and the Shoreditch edge. Occupiers span banking, insurance, law, tech and media.
Broadgate strict out-of-hours loading: 6am–8am and 6pm–10pm for construction traffic. Trading hours on investment-banking floors (6:30am market opening) compress feasible heavy-noise windows — most work is 7pm–5am. Broadgate loading is booked 72 hours ahead via estate management. Skips prohibited on the estate — waste removed in enclosed trucks nightly. ULEZ compliance mandatory for all vehicles.

Renovation is targeted modernisation without full strip-out — it reuses sound elements and focuses on impact. Refurbishment is a broader scope, typically including M&E alterations and partitioning. Fit-out replaces everything to let-ready or occupier-ready standard.
With phased zoning and night-shift for noisy works, typical disruption is limited to temporary relocation within the same floor. A 10,000 sqft renovation over 3 phases runs 8–12 weeks with no staff displacement.
Typically 30–50% cheaper per sqft because you retain sound ceilings, floor plates and core M&E. The trade-off is that the layout is constrained by existing infrastructure.
Yes — we hold up-to-date British Land approvals including CSCS, insurance, CDM and Broadgate-specific fit-out protocol sign-off.
