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.
Illustrative imageCategory B fit-out for Essex businesses
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.
Offices in the East of England range from lab-adjacent technology space to traditional town-centre suites, each with very different servicing and specification needs.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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 Basildon, Colchester, Harlow and Brentwood?
Yes. We carry out category B fit-out throughout Essex, including Basildon, Colchester, Harlow, Brentwood, and across all 56 postcode districts in the area.
How much does category B fit-out cost in Essex?
Prices in Essex 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 Essex?
We usually offer survey dates within a week of your enquiry, sooner for urgent projects.
