Office Construction Resurgence Creates Major Opportunity for Accessible Workplace Washroom Design by Fitzroy of London
The UK office construction sector is one of the most promising areas for growth in 2026. Following years of uncertainty, the upturn for new office construction and refurbishment, as well as the increased return to the workplace, creates significant opportunities for architects, developers, specifiers and contractors to deliver high-quality, future-ready spaces.
According to a recent report by Glenigan, 23 major projects worth £6.3 billion are scheduled to start this year, with the overall project forecast to rise by 13% in 2026 following strong growth in 2025. As employers look to uplift workspaces, for accessible bathroom brand Fitzroy of London, this shift presents a powerful opportunity to meet this new demand.

Bradley Culmer, Business Development Director said:
“As more people return to the workplace and the UK office construction sector is growing, it’s a really exciting time for us as a business. Inclusive washrooms are fundamental to creating offices where people feel confident returning to.
Accessible washrooms are no longer just a necessity but an opportunity for developers, contractors and specifiers to be creative with the space they have. Our expertise and position in the industry is there to help our partners from start to finish – delivering compliant, high-performing, design-led solutions that are easy to specify, install and maintain – while still aligning with the overall design quality of the space.”
Organisations are realising that traditional, purely functional washrooms no longer meet the modern standards of inclusivity, wellbeing and compliance. They now play a vital role in this shift with opportunities to create engaging washrooms that are considered and thoughtful from the very early planning stages.
Fitzroy of London is uniquely positioned to support the commercial workspace sector, collaborating with project teams to create accessible washrooms that are suitable for everyone – to ensure inclusive design doesn’t feel like an afterthought. From advising contractors on product availability and providing accurate lead times, working with specifiers on compliance complexities and guiding them through step-by-step, and ensuring development managers can maximise their return on investment through risk- free, reliable, and robust products, Fitzroy of London’s expert and knowledgeable team goes above and beyond to ensure every need is met.
The brand’s high-quality and design-led portfolio of bathroom products creates stunning visual appeal in any setting – while meeting rigorous accessibility and compliance standards. From smaller washrooms to larger office complexes that offer showering amenities, Fitzroy of London has the right range and finish to meet any design brief.
As businesses continue to invest in office environments, inclusive washroom design represents an important step towards creating workplaces that are accessible, efficient and fit for the future. With expert specification managers, a diverse collection of products and Doc M packs per collection tailored specifically to commercial environments, Fitzroy of London enables project teams to deliver compliance, comfort, design and durability at every stage.
