Office Furniture Refurbishment for Businesses
Replacing office furniture is rarely necessary. In many cases, what you already have can be refurbished, repaired or upgraded at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
At Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, we refurbish commercial office furniture for businesses, helping extend its life, improve appearance and reduce unnecessary waste. This includes seating, desks, bench systems and other reusable items.

What We Mean by Office Furniture Refurbishment
Office furniture refurbishment focuses on improving and extending the life of furniture you already own.
This can include:
- Repairing worn or damaged items
- Re-upholstering seating
- Respraying or refinishing frames
- Adjustments to suit new layouts or requirements
We do not redesign furniture. We refurbish it so it can continue to be used properly.
Furniture We Commonly Refurbish
We regularly refurbish:
- Task chairs and meeting chairs
- Soft seating and breakout furniture
- Desks and bench systems
- Storage units and pedestals
If you are unsure whether an item is suitable for refurbishment, photos and quantities are usually enough for an initial assessment.
Why Refurbish Instead of Replace
Refurbishment is often the most practical option because it:
- Costs significantly less than buying new
- Avoids disposal and replacement delays
- Keeps familiar furniture in use
- Reduces environmental impact
Many organisations are surprised by how effective refurbishment can be when done properly.

Refurbishment as Part of a Wider Project
Refurbishment is often combined with other services, such as:
- Supplying additional refurbished furniture
- Reconfiguring or resizing desks
- Removing and recycling surplus items
Handling these together helps keep projects efficient and avoids duplication.
Cost and Practical Considerations
Refurbishment costs depend on:
- Furniture type and condition
- Quantity
- Level of work required
We provide clear guidance on when refurbishment makes sense and when it does not. If replacement is genuinely the better option, we will say so.
Sustainability and Reuse
Refurbishing office furniture keeps usable items in circulation and avoids unnecessary waste.
This approach:
- Reduces landfill
- Lowers embodied carbon
- Supports practical reuse rather than disposal
It is one of the simplest ways to improve sustainability outcomes without increasing cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all office furniture be refurbished?
No. Most commercial desks, chairs and storage can be refurbished, but some items are not cost-effective or suitable. We assess this upfront and will be honest if refurbishment is not the right option.
Do you need to see the furniture in person?
In most cases, no. Photos, quantities and a brief description are usually enough for an initial assessment. Site visits are only required for larger or more complex projects.
Is refurbishment cheaper than buying new?
Yes, in most cases. Refurbishment typically costs significantly less than replacing furniture with new items, particularly at scale.
How long does refurbishment take?
Lead times depend on the furniture type, quantity and level of work required. We confirm timescales before any work starts so you can plan accordingly.
Can refurbishment be combined with other services?
Yes. Refurbishment is often carried out alongside furniture supply, removals or recycling as part of a wider project.
What happens to furniture that cannot be refurbished?
If items are not suitable, we can arrange removal and recycling to keep materials out of landfill where possible.
