Project delivery

Commercial office fit-out contractors in Manchester.

Our approach combines practical construction delivery with programme, procurement and commercial management. We work with clients, architects, engineers, Building Control and specialist subcontractors to turn an agreed scope into a controlled construction project.

Most of our fit-outs happen in buildings that stay open — floors handed back in phases, dust and route separation, noisy trades out of hours. Our largest, a £2M Cat B fit-out at Vanguard, was delivered floor by floor in a live, occupied building.

What we do

From landlord shell to working floor.

01

Cat A & Cat B office fit-out

We undertake Cat A landlord works and Cat B occupier fit-outs, including partitions, ceilings, flooring, lighting, power, data, mechanical services, kitchens, breakout spaces, bespoke joinery and finishes.

02

Pre-construction that reduces surprises

Before mobilisation we review drawings, specifications, landlord requirements, programme, access, long-lead items, M&E requirements and the cost plan so key risks are identified early.

03

One accountable project team

Tatton Projects coordinates procurement, subcontractors, programme, health and safety, quality, variations, snagging and handover through one project team.

04

Manchester and UK-wide commercial delivery

We work across Manchester, Trafford, Salford, Stockport, Altrincham, Cheshire and the wider North West, with selected commercial fit-out projects delivered nationwide.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked.

As a working range in 2026: a basic Cat A refresh runs around £45–£70 per sq ft. A standard Cat B fit-out is roughly £70–£110 per sq ft. A high-specification Cat B — bespoke joinery, feature lighting, acoustic treatment, the kind of thing we did at Vanguard — runs £110–£180 per sq ft and upwards. Anyone who quotes you a single number without seeing the floor, the building's services and the landlord's licence to alter is guessing. We give you an elemental cost plan instead, and that number is the one you build to.

Yes — it's most of what we do. Hotels that kept selling rooms, care homes with residents in their beds, a public service centre with ninety staff at their desks and the public coming through the doors, retail units in a trading mall. Phased handbacks, dust and route separation, out-of-hours working. If you can only close for a weekend, say so at the appraisal and we'll build the programme around it.

A written cost plan at stage two and a signed variation procedure before anyone lifts a spade. Written variations only — no verbal extras, ever. Monthly valuations so you always know where the number is.

Yes. Commercial fit-out and refurbishment we take nationwide for the right project. We have delivered in Liverpool, Leeds, Stockport and London.
