What should Greater Manchester projects plan for?

Many Manchester 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.

In Manchester, installations are often completed in a few days, and we can usually start on site soon after drawings are signed off because the survey answers the practical questions early.

How much do partition relocation & reconfiguration cost in Greater Manchester?

£120–£260 per m² + VAT

The system type and its condition, how far it moves, how many new parts are needed to suit the new layout, and access at both locations set the price, typically 35–60% of new. Typical lead time: 1–3 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.

Why choose us in Greater Manchester?

Familiar finishes kept

Teams keep the partitions, doors and finishes they know, and the new layout matches existing rooms that are staying in place.

Less waste

Keeping glass and aluminium in use reduces skips and landfill, and supports environmental reporting on fit-out waste and embodied carbon.

Covering all of Greater Manchester

Survey and installation teams cover Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Manchester and Salford.

Tidy, protected sites

Floors and finishes are protected, waste is removed and the area is cleaned before handover.

Many partitions are designed to be moved, but they often end up in a skip at the end of a lease or during a reorganisation. If the system is a framed glass or demountable panel type in reasonable condition, it can usually be dismantled, stored if needed and refitted for considerably less than new, often around 35–60% of the cost. It also avoids sending glass and aluminium to waste, which helps if your organisation reports on fit-out waste or embodied carbon.

Surveys across Greater Manchester

Survey visits across Greater Manchester — including Manchester, Manchester and Salford — are free and carry no obligation. We measure, photograph and note services so the quote is accurate first time.

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.

Partition Relocation & Reconfiguration in Greater Manchester: FAQs

How much do partition relocation & reconfiguration cost in Manchester?

Our guide price for partition relocation & reconfiguration is £120–£260 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Manchester project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.

Will our Manchester landlord need to approve the partitions?

If you lease your Manchester 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.

Can fire rated partitions be relocated?

Only if the complete tested system can be refitted exactly as tested, with the correct frames, glass, seals, fixings and door hardware. Missing or damaged parts must be replaced with the system's own components. If that is not possible, the relocated wall cannot be relied on as fire rated.

How long does it take to move office partitions?

A single room usually takes one to two days to dismantle and refit. A full floor typically takes one to two weeks, depending on the amount of new material and access at both sites. Work on the same floor can be phased so teams keep working.
