What should Reading offices plan for?
A lot of Reading's office space sits in multi-let buildings where the landlord's fit-out rules set what can fix to ceilings and floors. We read those rules early so the design is approved first time.
Many Reading occupiers are on shorter leases or flexible terms, so we talk through demountable options and dilapidations at the start rather than leaving them for the end of the lease.
What do private & cellular offices cost in Reading?
Office size, whether side walls are stud or demountable, single or double glazed fronts, door type, and changes to lighting, heating and ventilation set the cost per office. Typical lead time: 2–5 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why use us for private & cellular offices in Reading?
Tested systems, documented
We use manufacturers' tested partition systems and hand over the relevant performance and test evidence at completion.
Flexible if you choose
With demountable side walls, offices can be resized or converted into meeting rooms later without demolition, protecting the investment you have made.
Efficient in rows
Building offices side by side along the window line shares walls and partitions, keeping the cost per office lower than scattered standalone rooms.
Tidy, protected sites
Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.
Typical private & cellular offices projects we see in Reading include hr and finance offices, legal and professional practices and small team rooms. Solid side walls and a closing door give managers and specialists a quiet, confidential space for calls, reviews and focused work.

Do you survey in Reading?
We cover Reading along with nearby Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham and Bracknell. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
In England, partition works that affect fire safety or means of escape fall under the Building Regulations, so we flag anything that may need Building Control at survey stage.

Materials are ordered to exact sizes and we agree installation dates, working hours and site rules with you.
Fit, check and hand over

Reading private & cellular offices FAQs
Will our Reading landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Reading office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
Do you cover areas near Reading?
Yes. As well as Reading we regularly cover Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham and Bracknell, plus the rest of Berkshire and South East. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
What is a cellular office?
A cellular office is an individual enclosed office, usually for one or two people, built in a row with similar offices along an office floor. Each has walls, a door and usually a glazed front. The term contrasts with open-plan layouts, where people work together in one shared space.
Do I need permission to build offices in a leased building?
Usually you need landlord consent, normally through a licence for alterations, and Building Control may need to be involved if the offices change escape routes, fire separation or ventilation. Planning permission is not normally needed for internal office partitions unless the building is listed.
