R&D laboratory and associated spaces refurbishment.

The world’s largest specialist private label brake fluid manufacturer required a complete redesign and refurbishment of their flagship UK laboratory. Having already completed an office design and fit out for our client, this was the second phase of our project with them.


The current laboratory space was cramped and dated. As one of the few approved brake fluid testing laboratories in Europe responsible for supplying an international customer base, our client needed a modern R&D facility that would be practical and supportive of their high level of research and development.

Improving productivity & positivity.

In order to create a forward-thinking, robust space, we redesigned the ground floor and first floor area to accommodate a more extensive lab, support offices, and a meeting room. We also updated the washroom facilities and enlarged the canteen area to accommodate the production staff who work in the adjacent area.


The new lab was thoughtfully designed to accommodate all equipment, taking careful consideration of the use of different machines to create a logical and efficient layout. By creating a bright and modern feel, the new space would not only serve to improve productivity, but positivity amongst lab operatives working within the space. This positive impression in turn extended to visitors, whom our client could now confidently show around the new space - knowing that it reflected their well-renowned global brand.

A practical R&D lab.

“We are delighted with the new lab. It provides lots more space and a light and airy feel; a very pleasant and productive working environment. We were impressed with the way Glenside took turnkey responsibility for the entire thing, preventing our team from becoming distracted. Considering this was a major project, it was remarkably little hassle.”
