Commercial interiors for Norwich businesses
Source One has been delivering office fit-outs, refurbishments and commercial interiors for Essex businesses since 2002.
We’re a family-run business rooted in East Anglia, and we work with a network of trusted trades and suppliers we’ve built relationships with over more than two decades. That means one point of contact for the whole project, reliable people on site and a finished result you’re actually happy with.
Our Essex work covers Colchester, Southend, Thurrock, Chelmsford, Braintree, Basildon, Harlow and the surrounding areas.
Norwich has a strong and diverse commercial base – financial services, insurance, technology, public sector, creative industries and a growing professional services community. It’s a city with real character, a mix of period buildings, converted industrial spaces and modern commercial developments, and the workplaces we work on there reflect that range.
Norwich’s commercial property mix throws up interesting projects. The city has a significant stock of older and period commercial buildings that need careful handling – improving them without losing what makes them distinctive. It also has call centres and open-plan operations that need acoustic treatment as much as they need a layout refresh. And like many regional cities, it has growing businesses moving from serviced offices into their own space for the first time.
Noise reduction is a regular conversation with Norwich clients. Open-plan offices and call centres are common in the city, and getting the acoustics right makes a significant difference to how well people can work. We test spaces properly before recommending anything, so clients get what’s actually needed rather than a product list.
Recent Norwich projects
MTC were moving to a new building on St Georges Street in Norwich and appointed Source One to refurbish and fit out their call centre office space. It was a large project – over 19,000 metres of data and comms cabling, partitions, and furniture across the call centre, boardroom and meeting rooms – completed in six weeks.
The client summed it up well:
“We get nothing but compliments from everyone in the organisation who visits the Norwich office. It really is the jewel in the crown.”

While working with One Broker at their Cambridge office, they asked us to handle a furniture fit-out at their Norwich site too. The project included bench style workstations and some re-upholstery work.
As Jo Baker at One Broker put it:
“Thank you so much Chloe for once again exceeding expectations. We love our office and the booth looks fantastic.”

What we deliver in Norwich
We cover the full range of commercial interior and fit-out services. Depending on the project, that might include:
Office fit-out – Taking a new or empty space and building it out properly. Space planning, partitions, flooring, ceilings, lighting, power and data, furniture, kitchens – the whole project managed as one.
Office refurbishment – Improving an existing space that isn’t working as well as it should. Layout changes, updated finishes, new partitions, furniture replacement, acoustic improvements.
Partitioning and glazing – Creating meeting rooms, quiet zones and defined work areas without structural building work. Glazed wall systems, bi-fold partitions, screens and pods.
Acoustic improvements – Reducing noise in open-plan offices, call centres, meeting rooms and mixed-use spaces. We test the space first so we recommend what’s actually needed, not what’s easiest to sell.
Office furniture – Desking, seating, storage, meeting room and breakout furniture. Sourced and specified to suit the space and the budget, not pushed off a standard list.
Office dilapidations – End of lease repairs and reinstatement work, managed properly and delivered on time.

How we work
Source One has delivered commercial interior projects for over 25 years. We bring together the right trades and suppliers for each project – people we’ve worked with consistently and trust to do the job properly.
One point of contact throughout. Clear communication about what’s happening and when. Trades who know how we work and turn up when they say they will. And an honest conversation at the start about what’s realistic for your space and your budget.
Most of our Norwich clients come to us through recommendation or because they’ve worked with us before. That’s the kind of reputation we’ve built over more than two decades and it’s not something we take lightly.
