LOXLEY HOUSE

OUR WORK

TSB Contractors completed a transformative CAT B office fit-out on the 4th floor of Loxley House in Nottingham. The project was delivered to support the client’s strategic objective of providing a modern, collaborative workplace tailored to staff needs. By introducing functional, serviced zones and flexible work areas, the refurbishment aligns with the wider vision of optimising workspace quality and efficiency within the public sector.

This high-specification fit-out included the construction of metal stud partitions with acoustic and fire ratings (FD30/FD60), and full-height glazed partitions with manifestation film for privacy and branding. Acoustic ceiling panels and baffles were integrated to control noise and enhance comfort. The ceiling works were a key design feature, incorporating suspended perforated metal ceiling tiles for a sleek, monolithic finish, and MF plasterboard ceilings in breakout and meeting rooms, which discreetly integrated lighting, sprinklers, ventilation, and access panels. Floor finishes included Interface carpet tiles across circulation and open-plan spaces, with LVT in kitchenettes and safety vinyl in wet zones. Wall finishes were completed in vinyl matt emulsion, with acoustic panels applied in selected areas for sound management and visual impact. Joinery included bespoke kitchen units, lockers, and integrated tea points featuring base and wall units, boiling/chilled water taps, refrigeration, and splashbacks. Doorsets were installed with FD30/FD60 fire ratings and DDA-compliant ironmongery.

TEAMWORK - KEY TO SUCCESS

TSB Contractors deployed a fully integrated in-house team of joiners, decorators, electricians, and fire-stopping specialists. This allowed for close coordination and direct quality control across all trades. The team maintained clear communication channels with all stakeholders, holding regular site meetings and updating progress through transparent reporting, ensuring that all project milestones were achieved.

PROJECT VALUE, SIZE & DURATION

The fit-out encompassed the full 4th floor of Loxley House in Nottingham. The project commenced in 2024 and was completed on schedule in 2025, forming part of a broader estate improvement strategy.

THE TASK HAND

The project aimed to create a functional and future-ready office environment that promotes collaboration and flexibility. TSB Contractors were tasked with delivering a fit-out that responded to modern working requirements while ensuring full regulatory compliance, seamless systems integration, and high design standards. Zoning strategies were applied to define use areas through colour coding and adaptable modular furniture. TSB oversaw the integration of data, power, ventilation, and lighting systems, collaborating closely with service engineers to meet technical and spatial constraints without compromising the design vision.

ABOVE & BEYOND

TSB Contractors added value through the creation of bespoke acoustic installations and innovative use of modular elements to enhance spatial flexibility. The integration of branded glazed partitions and premium finishes throughout reflects TSB’s commitment to delivering beyond the brief. Coordinating complex ceiling services while maintaining a high-quality finish was a key success, made possible through TSB’s in-house capability and hands-on project management.
