Office refurbishments in the North East often run on tight summer or Christmas shutdown windows. The lining trades — partitions, ceilings, and boarding — usually sit on the critical path.
Recommended programme sequence
- Strip-out and asbestos clearance (where required)
- First fix M&E coordination above ceiling void
- Partition walls and door frames
- Dry lining to perimeter and core walls
- Ceiling grid, tiles, and bulkheads
- Second fix, decoration, and snagging
Local considerations
Older stock across Middlesbrough, Sunderland, and Newcastle may have low voids, asbestos-containing materials, or uneven slabs. Early surveys prevent redesign mid-project.
Erimus Interiors provides free surveys and can phase works to keep part of your floor operational.
