Office Fit-Outs in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide office fit-outs across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
What's the difference between a Category A and Category B fit-out?
Category A is the basic shell — raised floors, suspended ceilings and core mechanical and electrical services, often provided by the landlord. Category B is the tenant's own fit-out on top of that, covering partitioning, finishes, meeting rooms and branding to suit how the business will use the space.
Do we need our landlord's permission for an office fit-out?
Most commercial leases require landlord consent, usually via a licence for alterations, for anything beyond very minor changes. We recommend checking your lease early, and can provide the technical detail needed to support an application.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
