Warehouse Refurbishment & Modernisation

WHL Projects upgrades and modernises existing warehouse and industrial buildings to improve safety, efficiency, compliance and long-term performance.

Whether refurbishing an occupied distribution centre, upgrading an ageing industrial unit or preparing a commercial asset for a new tenant, our team plans and delivers works around the needs of the building, the programme and the operation.

From roof replacement and internal refurbishment to flooring, lighting, dock upgrades and fire stopping, we provide practical refurbishment solutions that help extend the life and usability of industrial spaces.

Where buildings remain operational during the works, WHL Projects can phase activity carefully to minimise disruption and maintain safe access for staff, vehicles and deliveries.

Industrial Fit-Out & Adaptation

WHL Projects supports clients adapting warehouse and industrial spaces for new uses, changing operational needs and increased capacity.

Whether converting a shell unit into a functional workspace, reconfiguring an existing warehouse, adding office and welfare accommodation, or preparing a building for a specialist operational environment, our team delivers practical fit-out solutions planned around the way the space needs to work.

We can coordinate the building fabric, internal layout, services, finishes and compliance requirements needed to transform industrial units into efficient, safe and usable facilities.

We can adapt warehouse and industrial spaces for:

Manufacturing operations
Storage optimisation
Distribution centres
Trade counters
Cold storage facilities
Last-mile logistics hubs
Specialist operational environments
Office, welfare and staff accommodation
Mezzanine-supported layouts
Racking, loading and circulation requirements

From initial layout planning through to delivery, WHL Projects helps clients make better use of their industrial space while keeping safety, programme and long-term performance at the centre of the project.

External Yards & Logistics Infrastructure

WHL Projects delivers the external works and infrastructure needed to support safe, efficient warehouse and industrial operations.

From service yards and loading areas to drainage, hardstanding, access routes and security upgrades, we help create practical external spaces designed around vehicle movement, deliveries, storage, staff access and day-to-day site operations.

Our team can coordinate external works as part of a wider warehouse construction or refurbishment project, or deliver targeted upgrades to improve the performance, safety and usability of existing industrial sites.

Our external yard and infrastructure works can include:

Hardstanding and concrete yard areas
Drainage and surface water management
Loading areas and service yards
Vehicle circulation routes
Access roads and parking areas
Fencing, gates and security upgrades
External lighting and service coordination
Line marking and traffic management layouts
Dock, loading bay and delivery-area improvements
General external repairs and site upgrades

Well-planned external infrastructure helps reduce operational bottlenecks, improve site safety and support smoother movement of vehicles, goods and people.

M&E and Services

We integrate mechanical, electrical and sprinkler installations during warehouse construction, refurbishment and fit-out projects to reduce interface issues later in the programme. This early coordination helps ensure that services are properly planned around the building fabric, operational layout and long-term use of the space.

All electrical works are delivered by NICEIC-certified contractors, mechanical installations are Gas Safe-registered, and fire systems are coordinated to comply with BS 5839 and BS 5306 where applicable. WHL Projects also coordinates third-party commissioning to provide complete as-built documentation, warranties and handover information at completion.

Safety and Logistics

Industrial and warehouse sites present unique safety risks, including high-level work, heavy plant, vehicle movements and overlapping client operations. WHL Projects establishes segregated access routes, exclusion zones and permit-to-work systems before mobilisation, helping to maintain safe working conditions throughout the programme.

For live operational environments, we carefully plan works around shift patterns, loading schedules, delivery routes and staff access requirements. This helps minimise disruption, maintain operational continuity and ensure works are delivered safely alongside ongoing client activity.

All lifting operations follow LOLER 1998 and are overseen by Appointed Persons and qualified slinger/signallers. Environmental controls address dust, waste segregation and runoff protection, and our approach supports compliance with the Considerate Constructors Scheme and ISO 14001 principles.

Technical Assurance and Accreditations

All WHL Projects operations are governed by ISO-aligned quality, safety and environmental systems. These processes support consistent project delivery, clear documentation and robust technical control across warehouse construction, refurbishment, fit-out and industrial upgrade works.

We are a member of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), and our structural partner, WHL Surveying & Engineering, provides RICS/IStructE oversight for structural and load-bearing elements where required. Together, these credentials give clients confidence in our technical governance, compliance standards and delivery capability.
