What should Cambridgeshire projects plan for?
Plenty of Cambridge businesses are growing into space they already lease, so we often reconfigure existing partitions and add new rooms in the same project.
In Cambridge, 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 warehouse & in-plant offices cost in Cambridgeshire?
Footprint, wall system, whether a ceiling deck is needed for heat and dust, the amount of glazing for floor visibility, and electrical and heating work drive the project price. Typical lead time: 3–6 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
Why choose us in Cambridgeshire?
Covering all of Cambridgeshire
Survey and installation teams cover Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area, including Cambridge and Peterborough.
Supervisors see the floor
Large windows facing the working area keep staff visible and connected to operations, improving supervision and safety without leaving the office.
Clean, quiet and warm
A self-contained office with its own ceiling keeps dust, noise and draughts out, and can be heated or cooled efficiently without heating the whole warehouse.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
Most in-plant offices use modular steel-faced panels or insulated stud walls, with a suspended ceiling inside and either a deck or a fire-rated lid. Typical projects range from a single supervisor's office to a cluster of offices, a meeting room and a welfare area. We survey the floor for level and loading, check sprinkler and detector coverage, plan electrics and heating, and position the office so it does not obstruct racking, fire exits or vehicle routes. The price is quoted per project because the scope varies so much.
Key specifications
| Glazing | Single or double glazed windows, often with integral blinds, to overlook the floor |
|---|---|
| Doors | Steel-faced or timber doors, with vision panels and lever locks |
| Services | Lighting, power, data and heating or air conditioning to suit |
| Acoustic performance | Approx. Rw 35–45 dB depending on wall and glazing (lab) |
Surveys across Cambridgeshire
Survey visits across Cambridgeshire — including Cambridge, Cambridge and Peterborough — 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.

Warehouse & In-Plant Offices in Cambridgeshire: FAQs
How soon can you start on a Cambridge project?
Typical lead time for warehouse & in-plant offices is 3–6 weeks from signed-off drawings, mostly because materials are made to measure. Installation itself is usually a matter of days for a typical office, and we can phase work around a Cambridge office that stays open.
Will our Cambridge landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Cambridge 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 I need planning permission for an office inside a warehouse?
Usually not, because internal works inside an existing commercial building do not normally need planning permission. Building Control may need to be involved for escape routes, fire safety and ventilation. Listed buildings and some planning conditions are exceptions, so we check at survey.
Can a warehouse office have storage on top?
Yes, if the ceiling is designed as a load-bearing deck with suitable structure, edge protection and safe access. A standard lid is not designed for storage. Tell us how the top will be used at survey, as it affects the structure and the price.
