Ask a question

A Cat A fit-out brings a shell-and-core space to a basic lettable standard — raised floors, suspended ceilings, basic mechanical and electrical services. A Cat B fit-out is the occupier's own fit-out, adding partitioning, joinery, specialist finishes and occupier-specific services.

Building Regulations approval is required for structural alterations, changes to fire compartmentation, new drainage and certain mechanical and electrical works. LateShield can advise on the regulatory position for your specific project.

Most commercial leases require the tenant to obtain the landlord's written consent before carrying out fit-out works. LateShield can coordinate the licence to alter application and ensure the works comply with the landlord's requirements.

Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the fit-out. A straightforward office fit-out might take four to eight weeks on site. LateShield will prepare a realistic programme at the outset.
