What should Southwark offices plan for?
A lot of Southwark'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 Southwark 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.

Do you survey in Southwark?
Southwark sits about 107 miles from our Birmingham base. Surveys are booked at a time that suits you, including early mornings, and the same project contact stays with you through to installation.
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.

Switchable Smart Glass Partitions in Southwark: FAQs
How much do switchable smart glass partitions cost in Southwark?
Our guide price for switchable smart glass partitions is £1,100–£1,700 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Southwark project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Can you work out of hours at our Southwark office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Southwark so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Does smart glass use a lot of electricity?
No. Running consumption is low per square metre, and the glass only draws power while it is clear. A typical meeting room uses a small fraction of the energy of its lighting. The main electrical cost is the one-off installation of the supply and controls.
What happens to smart glass if the power fails?
Most PDLC smart glass turns opaque when power is lost, because it needs power to stay clear. The room keeps its privacy and still receives diffused light. The glass remains safe laminated glass in either state, and it returns to clear automatically when power is restored.
