A successful office refurbishment is about more than upgrading a building. It is about creating a complete working environment that is ready for business from day one.
That was the goal at 1 Fetter Lane, Chancery Lane, London EC4A 1BR, where Mayfair Interiors delivered a full refurbishment of five floors, including the basement, across approximately 800 square metres. The building was completely transformed into a modern, high-quality workspace with new office areas, meeting rooms, kitchenettes, communal spaces and a gym.
This project was delivered for Canvas Offices, a provider of flexible serviced office space in London. Canvas offers fully managed workspace for businesses looking for high-quality offices in well-connected Central London locations. At 1 Fetter Lane, the aim was to create a workplace that matched that offer: professional, modern, functional and ready for immediate occupation.

A full turnkey refurbishment from start to finish
What made this project especially significant was the scope of Mayfair Interiors’ involvement.
We did not just carry out selected construction works. We delivered the project from start to finish, providing a complete turnkey service that covered everything required to take the building from its previous condition to a fully finished working environment.
That included:
demolition and strip-out
full interior design input
space planning and layout development
construction and fit-out works
new office areas and meeting rooms
kitchenettes and communal spaces
new toilets and washroom facilities
decoration and painting
finishes throughout
furnishings and final interior setup
full handover on completion
In practical terms, this means the client does not need to appoint multiple contractors, coordinate separate designers, source furniture after the build, or manage the final stages themselves. We take on the complete process, then hand over the keys when the project is finished and the space is ready for the business to move in and start operating.
That is the value of a true end-to-end office refurbishment service.
Transforming the building from basement to upper floors
The refurbishment at 1 Fetter Lane covered the entire building, from the basement through to the upper floors, creating a cohesive and high-functioning commercial environment throughout.
The outcome was not just a refreshed office interior, but a full repositioning of the space into a flexible, attractive and practical workplace. Each part of the building was considered as part of the wider user experience, from private office areas to shared amenities and wellness-focused spaces.
The finished space now includes:
high-quality office accommodation
meeting rooms for client and team use
kitchenettes and staff amenity areas
communal breakout spaces
a gym
upgraded toilets and support facilities
fully furnished and styled interiors ready for use
This approach is especially valuable for serviced office providers, managed office brands, flexible workspace operators and commercial landlords, because it removes delay between construction completion and occupation. Once the handover takes place, the workspace is already set up for business.
Designed for Canvas Offices and the modern workspace market
This project was completed for Canvas Offices, a company operating in the flexible office and serviced workspace sector.
Canvas provides fully managed office space in London, designed for businesses that want quality workspace without the burden of setting everything up themselves. That makes the quality of the interior, the layout, the amenities and the finish especially important. The building has to feel ready, polished and professionally delivered from the moment a prospective occupier walks in.
That is why a complete refurbishment approach matters.
For workspace providers such as Canvas — and for other companies in the same market, including serviced office operators, managed workspace providers, coworking brands, flexible office landlords and boutique commercial property operators — the physical space is a major part of the product. Businesses choosing offices in London are not just renting square footage. They are buying into an experience, a standard of finish and a working environment that supports productivity and brand image.
Why a turnkey office refurbishment adds real value
For many commercial clients, one of the biggest advantages of working with a contractor like Mayfair Interiors is simplicity.
Instead of appointing separate consultants, designers, trades, furniture suppliers and finishing teams, the client works with one company that manages the process all the way through. That creates better coordination, clearer accountability and a smoother overall programme.
It also means the final result is more cohesive.
When one experienced team oversees interior design, demolition, construction, toilets, finishes, painting, furnishings and handover, the workspace feels complete rather than pieced together. The client receives a finished environment that is ready to use, rather than a partially completed shell that still needs furnishing, styling or final setup.
At 1 Fetter Lane, that turnkey approach helped transform the building into a workplace that is not only visually strong, but also immediately functional for business use.
The outcome: a complete business-ready workspace
The final result at 1 Fetter Lane is a fully refurbished office building designed to support modern working.
From basement to upper floors, the space has been turned into a polished and practical environment where businesses can work, meet, collaborate and welcome clients. The inclusion of office areas, meeting rooms, kitchenettes, communal spaces and gym facilities creates a workplace that feels far more valuable and usable than a standard office fit-out.
Most importantly, the project was delivered as a complete package.
By the time the keys were handed back, the building was no longer a construction project. It was a ready-to-use working environment, fully designed, fitted out and furnished for business occupation.
That is the standard Mayfair Interiors brings to full office refurbishments in London.
