More working life from your portable spaces.

Extend the life of your cabins and adapt them for what comes next. Our refurbishment service brings existing units back into productive use, helping you protect your investment and meet changing operational needs.

From refreshing interiors to reconfiguring layouts and upgrading specifications, we bring practical manufacturing and engineering experience to every refurbishment.

Discuss your refurbishment

Make more of what you already own

Worn interiors, changing requirements or an outdated specification don’t always mean a cabin needs replacing.

As part of our Portable Spaces offering, we help you understand what can be retained, what needs upgrading and how your existing units can work harder for your business. The scope starts with the condition of your cabins and what you need them to do next.


Refurbishment around your requirements

Our service can include:

  • Interior refurbishment: renew finishes and fit-outs to improve the spaces your teams use every day.
  • Layout changes: reconfigure existing cabins for a different use or a new operational requirement.
  • Specification upgrades: improve insulation and lighting to support energy performance and occupant comfort.
  • External finishes and branding: refresh the appearance of your cabins and bring them into line with your fleet.

We’ll work with you to establish a suitable specification, taking account of the intended use, relevant requirements and your programme.

Retain value. Reduce waste.

Refurbishment keeps usable structures and materials in service for longer, reducing the need to discard and replace existing assets.

It can also provide a cost-effective way to improve your accommodation. By focusing investment where it makes a practical difference, you can extend useful working life while adapting your fleet to current needs.

Built on manufacturing experience

We understand how portable cabins are built and what it takes to keep them working.

Our in-house design, steelwork and fit-out capabilities support refurbishment from the structure through to the finished space. You get practical advice, clear communication and a team focused on delivering the agreed specification.
