SDE Group successfully delivered the transformation of an existing Ford car showroom into a dedicated Ford Transit showroom and fully equipped service and repair centre for Bristol Street Motors in Orpington. The project demanded significant structural, mechanical, and aesthetic upgrades to meet Ford’s current standards for both commercial vehicle presentation and workshop functionality.
- Full removal of all existing internal partitions and suspended ceilings to open up the space for reconfiguration.
- Uplift of all ceramic floor tiles throughout the showroom and workshop areas.
- Installation of new heavy-duty concrete bases to accommodate Transit vehicle lifts, ensuring durability and structural support.
- Complete screeding of the workshop floor to provide a smooth and level base for future operations.
- Integration of new wiring and isolators throughout the workshop, delivered by our in-house team at SDE Electrical, ensuring compliance with all safety and operational standards.
- Formation of a new Ford Transit showroom, including the supply and fit of ceramic floor tiles to meet Ford’s specific design standards.
- Installation of new Ford-specification fittings and display features, enhancing the showroom environment and customer experience.
- Construction of new internal offices, incorporating full-height glazed partition panels to promote a modern, open-plan feel while maintaining functional separation.
- Re-decoration of all new and existing walls within both office and workshop spaces, creating a clean, professional finish throughout.
- Full respray of all external elevations to align with Ford’s updated branding specifications, improving visual identity and consistency with the wider Ford network.
This complex refurbishment highlights SDE Group’s capability in delivering multi-faceted commercial automotive projects. With seamless coordination across demolition, construction, electrical, and interior fit-out services, the result is a fully compliant, brand-aligned Transit showroom and service centre that supports both operational efficiency and elevated customer interaction.
