Founded in 2009 by CEO Vaughan Pullen, London Fit Out combines the technical depth and compliance muscle of a Tier 1 contractor with the agility, direct director accountability, and competitive value of a specialist boutique firm.
Over 16 years of trading, we have grown purely through word-of-mouth recommendations, maintaining a 100% repeat and referral track record across 450+ completed commercial projects throughout the City of London, West End, Southbank, and Greater London.
Our four principal directors combine over 80 years of London commercial fit-out experience and over 600 personally delivered projects. When you work with LFO, you work directly with our business owners on site every day.
CEO & Founder
BSc (Hons) in Construction Management
Vaughan established London Fit Out in 2009 to provide clients with Tier 1 engineering standards free from bureaucratic inertia. With 30 years in construction and 14 years in senior directorship roles at three leading UK main contractors, he began his career "on the tools." Renowned for rigorous pre-construction scrutiny and early MEP conflict detection.
Managing Director
NVQ7 Construction Senior Management
Armand brings 12+ years of senior leadership to London Fit Out. Originally apprentice-trained as a master carpenter, he successfully built his own contracting firm before transitioning into London corporate refurbishment leadership. Regarded as the firm's operational engine room, mastering fast-track MEPH integration and commercial governance.
Contracts Director
NVQ6 / NVQ7 Construction Management
Gerrie owned and operated two contracting companies in South Africa before joining LFO in 2018. Expert in pre-construction risk detection and occupied building management, he led the One Kingdom Street central plant overhaul (raising building EPC from D to B) and delivered the Premier League VAR Control Centre 1 week ahead of programme.
Contracts Director
20+ Years Commercial Fit-Out
With over two decades of London commercial experience, Antonie held senior leadership roles at two of London's foremost Tier 1 fit-out contractors before returning to LFO. Expert in architectural ceilings and high-rise vertical logistics (such as 8 Bishopsgate) and fast-track live commissioning (80 Strand), he enforces a strict "no surprises" operational code.
We purposefully operate in the £100,000 to £10,000,000 project bracket. This focused scale enables us to provide the heavy technical muscle, ISO certifications, and supply chain leverage of a Tier 1 main contractor, while preserving the direct director accessibility and competitive pricing of a boutique firm.
Large Tier 1 conglomerates frequently delegate projects under £10m to junior site teams. Conversely, smaller domestic contractors often lack the MEPH coordination, insurance backing, and solvency required for complex multi-tenanted London buildings. London Fit Out bridges this gap perfectly.
How our directors and site personnel conduct business every single day across London.
Radical transparency from preliminary tender breakdowns through to final account settlement. We avoid hidden variation traps and price every element with commercial clarity.
We target zero-snag completions through rigorous staged quality control benchmarking, proactive mock-ups, and early MEPH integration checks before finishes are closed in.
When unforeseen site conditions arise inside occupied buildings, our directors make immediate, technically sound decisions without waiting weeks for corporate head office sign-off.
Certified to ISO 45001 and SafeContractor, we operate a zero-tolerance approach to site hazards. Our accident rates remain consistently well below UK construction industry baselines.
Financial stability is paramount in commercial contracting. London Fit Out maintains a top-tier 1A credit rating with Dun & Bradstreet, underpinned by robust positive cash flow and zero bank debt.
We enforce prompt and early settlements across our subcontractor and supplier accounts. This financial integrity guarantees priority resource allocation and uncompromised supply chain commitment for your project.
As active members of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, we employ a dedicated in-house Environmental Quality Control Manager to minimise noise, dust, and carbon impacts across every live London site.
