Category B fit-out explained
A Category B (Cat B) fit-out is the tenant's own fit-out on top of a Cat A shell: meeting rooms, offices, kitchens, breakout areas, furniture, finishes and branding designed around how the business works.

Cat B is where the office becomes yours. We start from how many people use the space, how they meet and what they need to store, then build the layout and finishes to suit.
Because Cat B often means altering a Cat A ceiling or floor, we check lighting, sprinkler heads, smoke detection and floor box positions against the new layout before any walls go up.
East Midlands offices are concentrated in Nottingham, Leicester and Derby city centres and on business parks near the M1, with a growing number of converted mill and factory buildings.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need landlord consent for Cat B works?
Almost always. Most leases require a licence for alterations, and we supply the drawings and method statements the landlord's surveyor asks for.
Do you cover Chesterfield and Ilkeston?
Yes. We carry out category B fit-out throughout Derbyshire, including Chesterfield, Ilkeston, and across all 28 postcode districts in the area.
How much does category B fit-out cost in Derbyshire?
Prices in Derbyshire generally sit within national ranges; access, working hours and specification move the number more than location. A free survey gives you a fixed, itemised price.
How quickly can you survey in Derbyshire?
We usually offer survey dates within a week of your enquiry, sooner for urgent projects.
What is the difference between Cat A and Cat B?
Cat A is the landlord's open, serviced shell. Cat B is the tenant's layout, rooms and finishes built into that shell.
