We have completed works in or adjacent to 6 Pancras Square (Google UK HQ), 1 Triton Square, 10 Brock Street, 2 Kings Cross Square, R7 (Meta) among others. Teams mobilise from our London operations base, with direct transport links via King's Cross St Pancras (Victoria, Piccadilly, Northern, Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City + National Rail + Eurostar), Farringdon (Elizabeth line — 1 stop), Euston (Victoria, Northern + National Rail). 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 King's Cross market is dominated by tech giants (google, meta, deepmind, astrazeneca r&d), media (guardian, universal music, havas), creative (central saint martins, design studios), each with distinct office repairs requirements — programme compression, landlord co-ordination, out-of-hours delivery, and full compliance ownership. Our commercial team has delivered office repairs in trophy buildings including 6 Pancras Square (Google UK HQ), 1 Triton Square, 10 Brock Street, 2 Kings Cross Square.
King's Cross estate spans from the Regent's Canal to Euston Road, with anchor HQ buildings, Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard retail and the Saint Pancras International corridor. Occupiers are heavily weighted to tech, media, creative industries and education (UAL Central Saint Martins).
Argent estate operates tenant-first access hours — construction traffic typically 7am–10am and 4pm–7pm, with heavy-noise works out-of-hours on occupied Pancras Square buildings. Estate service yard under Pancras Square — central booking through Argent tenant services, typical 3-day lead time. Coal Drops Yard and Granary have independent loading windows around retail trading.
