Sustainability

At CID Spaces, we believe that exceptional interiors and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand. That’s why sustainability is embedded into every stage of our process—from the materials we specify to the systems we install and the way we manage our sites.

Sustainable Materials

We carefully select materials that are responsibly sourced and have strong environmental credentials.

  • Finishes are chosen based on recycled content, product certifications, and carbon footprint.

  • Timber products hold FSC certificates and are from traceable, responsibly managed forests

  • Paints, adhesives, and sealants used on our sites are low or zero-VOC promoting better indoor air quality.

  • Wherever feasible, we specify recyclable, reusable, or demountable products, reducing the need for future waste.

Energy Efficient M&E

Lighting

LED technology is paired with smart sensors, dimming controls, and daylight-responsive setups to reduce consumption.

HVAC

Systems are selected based on their efficiency ratings, lifecycle energy consumption, and maintenance requirements. We promote the use of low-carbon alternatives such as heat pumps, demand-controlled ventilation, and energy recovery units.

Power

Electrical systems are designed to accommodate zonal energy management and allow for metering that encourages ongoing monitoring and optimisation by the end user.

Insulation

We place a strong emphasis on insulation in both wall and ceiling constructions to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort. High-performance insulation helps reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling, directly lowering carbon emissions associated with building operations.

At CID Spaces, we commonly install mineral wool insulation, such as Rockwool, which offers excellent thermal and acoustic performance.

Wherever possible, we integrate insulation early in the design and build process to maximise its benefits and ensure compliance with Part L (Conservation of fuel and power) and Part E (Resistance to the passage of sound) of UK Building Regulations.

Waste Management

Waste reduction and responsible disposal are key to our sustainability strategy. On every project we aim to minimise landfill use and increase recycling and reuse.

  • Waste is segregated on site into streams (e.g. timber, plasterboard, metal, cardboard) to maximise recycling potential.

  • Materials that can be salvaged or repurposed are reused on the same project or donated elsewhere.

  • We work with licensed waste partners who report on diversion from landfill.

Local Supply Chains

To support local economies and reduce emissions from transport, we prioritise working with suppliers and subcontractors located close to our project sites. This ensures faster response times, lower carbon emissions, and stronger accountability. Using local trades also supports job creation in the areas where we work and encourages long-term community investment

Refurbishment Over Replacement

Where possible, we encourage clients to reuse and refurbish rather than replace including:

  • Reusing existing partitions and adapting them to new layouts

  • Upcycling or reupholstering furniture

  • Replacing outdated system components instead of full installation

Sustainable Design Thinking

Our design team incorporates environmentally-conscious planning from the outset of each project:

  • Layouts are created to maximise natural daylight and airflow

  • Materials are specified based on durability, environmental impact, and ease of maintenance

  • Biophilic elements like planting, natural textures, and daylight integration help create healthy and inspiring workspaces

Learning

Our commitment to sustainability is ongoing. We regularly review our processes and educate our team on best practices in sustainable construction and refurbishment.

  • We monitor developments in green building standards and stay up-to-date with innovations in sustainable technologies and materials

  • We engage with industry frameworks such as circular economy principles, aiming to minimise waste and extend the lifecycle of the environments we create

Hear from our happy customers

Michael Deacon JacksonFTD Johns

We had the pleasure of working with our neighbours, CID Spaces, for our office fit-out, and we are very happy with the results. The communication and standard of workmanship was outstanding, and they completed the project on time and within budget. I can highly recommend CID Spaces.

Eddie DavisEJD Project Solutions

I have worked on many projects with CID Spaces, most recently completing a successful Fit-Out project for my client in King William Street, London. CID Spaces are a very professional, experienced, flexible and reliable company. All the team strive to keep their customers happy, projects are delivered on time and within budget and I have always found them to be very competitive when tendering against competitors. I highly recommend CID Spaces.

Sue FullardFullard Rosier Chartered Surveyors

The client is delighted with the way you handled the project and the end result. I know that he has already passed on your details to someone else who has had difficulties with London fit outs, so hopefully, there will be more of the same in the pipeline for you. From the experience I had CID, I am more than happy to make the recommendation, and will continue to do so for you when I am in a position so to do.

Charlie ToonRoam

I just wanted to say thank – the office looks amazing. Jason has been a dream, he’s polite, clean, tidy and ever so helpful. Our team really took to him and adopted him as one of our own.

Andrew DungateSES Water

I’ve only had positive comments about the work carried out by CID Spaces. Our MD was very impressed with the work. He said he didn’t notice anything until this morning which proves it was a neat and tidy job! Laura has said that we aren’t going to recommend you to anyone else... just in case you can’t fit our work in!

Stuart AyrtonCello Health

Working with yourselves and the rest of your extended team really has been a pleasure. I will sing your praises and recommend you to all with in our team and outwards. If you think our new office will assist in any new business negotiations I’d love to show it off. I have had amazing feedback from the senior team about here so thank you for that.

Robin RobertsSutton Housing Society

We worked with CID Spaces to help us transform our office space – these works included a new reception, board room, offices, break out spaces and communal kitchen. The finished spaces work well, we continue to receive compliments from everyone who visits. The space has a timeless look and was finished to an exceptionally high standard!

Darren MulhallSteriTech

We engaged CID Spaces for the design and fit-out of our office and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Working with CID was a pleasure, their senior team were involved from the start and we were impressed at how they bought into our brief and brought suggestions to us. CID Spaces handled the entire refurbishment, with great attention to detail. The build went smoothly, and quality of the workmanship was excellengt.

Ryan MarshallRoam

Highly recommend CID Workspace. It was a seamless transition, with their team more than happy to work around us during standard office hours - checking in first when scheduling the different stages of work to ensure there was minimal disruption to areas such as the meeting rooms.

Jackie HarmsworthAerFin

CID Spaces have completed two refurbishment projects for us, both of which have been very successful. As a Company we would happily use CID again and recommend their services to others.

Glynis GatenbySutton Housing Society

I'd like to offer our appreciation of the chaps that have been working on the scheme carrying out the lounge refurbishment. Without exception they have been quiet, polite, helpful and a joy to have around – they can’t speak highly enough about them.

Nick KeaneyNick Baker Architects

I very much trust we can continue to find things to work together on. It has been a pleasure in this day and age, with so many unhelpful and contractual contractors, to work with your company.

Sara MitchellBytes Software Services

CID Spaces recently completed a refurbishment of our at our offices. The workmen were tidy and cordoned off the refurbishment area well which was important as the work was carried our during office hours. The project was finished on schedule and within budget, and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. All the team there are extremely pleasant to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
