For businesses, commercial landlords and managing agents
Fit-outs and refurbishments that keep you trading.
Office, retail and hospitality fit-out and refurbishment across Greater London, with out-of-hours and phased working so you keep trading. One contractor, one programme and one site manager from strip-out to handover.
Downtime is the real cost
For a shop, a restaurant or a busy office, the biggest cost of a refurbishment is often the trade you lose while it happens. We plan every commercial job around the way your business runs, so the work fits your hours rather than the other way round. Noisy and disruptive work can be done out of hours or at weekends, and larger projects can be phased so you keep trading throughout.
Offices, shops and restaurants
We fit out and refurbish offices, retail units and hospitality venues, from a single floor or unit to a full strip-out and rebuild. That covers partitions and ceilings, electrical, lighting and data, heating, ventilation and plumbing, washrooms, flooring, shopfronts, joinery and decoration. In Soho we redesigned and refurbished a restaurant with a new commercial kitchen, a contemporary dining room and a new frontage.
For landlords and managing agents
An empty unit earns nothing, and a new occupier expects a space that is ready to use. We refurbish offices and shops between lettings, carry out Cat A and Cat B works, and handle the practical detail managing agents deal with every day: risk assessments and method statements, access arrangements, permits and clear records at the end. You get one contractor who answers for the programme, the site and the result.
Compliance, documented
Fire stopping, emergency lighting and accessibility are planned in from the start, not added at the end. We handle building control approval, and planning permission where a new shopfront or external change needs it. At handover you get the certificates and records for your building file, ready for your landlord, your insurer or your next fire risk assessment.
One programme, one person to call
You get a written, itemised quote and a clear programme before work starts, one AGL site manager who runs the job day to day, and regular progress updates until handover. Our own directly employed trades carry out most of the work, so the programme does not depend on a string of subcontractors turning up on time. As principal contractor under CDM 2015, we run the site safely, and an external health and safety consultancy audits how we do it.
Finished, handed over and backed
Before handover we snag every area and walk it with you, so you reopen to a finished space rather than a snagging list. Our workmanship is guaranteed for two years, and our WhatsApp line is open 24 hours, so you can reach us whenever your business needs us.

Questions we are often asked
Can you refurbish our premises while we keep trading?
Yes. AGL schedules noisy and disruptive work out of hours or at weekends and phases larger projects so part of your premises stays open, with work areas screened, clean, secure and kept separate from staff and customers.
What types of commercial premises do you work on?
AGL fits out and refurbishes offices, shops and retail units, restaurants and other hospitality venues across Greater London, for occupiers, commercial landlords and managing agents.
Do you refurbish commercial units between tenancies?
Yes. We refurbish offices and shops between lettings for commercial landlords and managing agents, from Cat A works that bring a space back to a lettable base standard to full refurbishment, with one site manager and one programme.
How do you price a commercial project?
Every commercial project is priced individually after a site visit, because the space, the specification and the working hours all affect the cost. You receive a written, itemised quote and a programme, so you know what is included and when it will happen.
Who is our point of contact during the works?
One AGL site manager runs your project and is your day-to-day contact, with regular progress updates until handover. You can also reach the office on 020 8591 7196 or our 24-hour WhatsApp line on 07498 860008.
What accreditations do you hold?
AGL is accredited with Gas Safe Register, NICEIC, Constructionline, Competent Roofer and CHAS Elite, and acts as principal contractor under CDM 2015. Our workmanship is guaranteed for two years from completion.
