Ealing has been known as the Queen of the Suburbs since the early 1900s, and today it is one of west London’s busiest commercial boroughs. Its seven towns, Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall, offer very different kinds of business space: town centre offices around Ealing Broadway, converted industrial and studio buildings in Acton, established local commercial centres in Southall and Greenford, and Park Royal, London’s largest industrial estate, which the borough shares with Brent and Hammersmith & Fulham.
Transport links are a major part of the borough’s appeal. Five Elizabeth line stations serve Ealing: Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, Hanwell, Southall and Acton Main Line. Ealing Broadway is also on the Central and District lines, making it one of the best connected stations in west London. The Piccadilly line calls at Ealing Common, Northfields and South Ealing, while the Central line also serves Hanger Lane, Perivale and North Acton on the Park Royal side of the borough.
Office Refurbishment Costs in Ealing
Office refurbishment in Ealing typically costs between £40 and £75 per square foot, which represents good value for a west London location with Elizabeth line connectivity. These ranges cover a standard refurbishment including flooring, ceilings, lighting, decoration and basic mechanical and electrical upgrades. Full fit outs with bespoke joinery, AV systems and specialist finishes will sit at the higher end or above these ranges.
Every building is different, so we treat these figures as a starting point only. We provide detailed, itemised quotations after an initial site survey, so you know exactly what is included and what to expect before any work begins.
Why Choose Ealing for Your Business
The Elizabeth line has transformed the borough’s connectivity. From Ealing Broadway, direct services reach Paddington in around 10 minutes and Heathrow in around 20 minutes, with trains continuing east to the City and Canary Wharf. Commercial rents remain substantially lower than central London, and the borough offers a pleasant suburban environment with good dining, retail and green spaces for staff.
The building stock is varied. Office space in Ealing ranges from modern blocks and refurbished period buildings around Ealing Broadway and West Ealing to converted industrial units in Acton, offices attached to industrial and warehouse units in Park Royal, and established commercial premises in Southall, Greenford and Hanwell. The Filmworks development beside Ealing Broadway, built on the site of the former Empire cinema, has added a cinema, restaurants and new retail space to the town centre, and demand for good quality refurbished offices has grown alongside it.
Types of Office Refurbishment We Deliver in Ealing
Our work in the borough covers Cat A and Cat B refurbishment of town centre office buildings, upgrades of tired suites to meet the expectations of occupiers drawn in by the Elizabeth line, and the conversion or refurbishment of industrial and studio space in Acton and Park Royal for creative, tech and logistics businesses. Standard projects focus on open plan layouts, modern lighting, efficient heating and cooling, improved meeting spaces and reception areas that present your business well.
We also handle the practical elements that make a refurbishment stick: partitioning, flooring, ceilings, power and data, kitchens and breakout areas, and decoration, all coordinated under one contract with a single point of contact.
Planning and Building Considerations in Ealing
Ealing has 29 conservation areas, including Ealing Town Centre, Haven Green, Ealing Green, Brentham, Northolt Village, Norwood Green and Hanwell Village Green. Internal office refurbishment is usually unaffected, but external alterations such as signage, plant, or window and shopfront replacements in these areas may need planning permission, and listed buildings require listed building consent before work starts. One quirk worth knowing: the Park Royal area falls under the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, which acts as the local planning authority there instead of the council.
If you lease your premises, most refurbishment work will also need your landlord’s consent, usually documented as a licence to alter. We prepare the drawings and specifications landlords ask for, and we confirm the planning position for your specific building at survey stage, so consents are secured before work begins.

Can you refurbish office space in industrial premises in Park Royal or Acton?
Yes. We refurbish offices within industrial and warehouse buildings, including ancillary office areas, mezzanine offices and studio conversions. Park Royal sits within the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation planning area rather than the council’s, and we factor that in where consent is needed, although most internal office works proceed without planning complications.

The Elizabeth line has increased demand for good quality office space in the borough, particularly around Ealing Broadway, West Ealing and Southall stations. Direct trains reach Paddington in around 10 minutes and Heathrow in around 20 minutes, at rents well below central London, and many older offices are being refurbished to meet the expectations of occupiers drawn by that connectivity.
