Overbury London
When Overbury, one of the UK’s leading fit-out and refurbishment specialists, needed to provide safe client access through an active fit-out project at Sixty London Wall, they turned to Westgate Global.
The solution was a bespoke Hoardfast PVC tunnel, designed to guide visitors safely from the fourth-floor entrance to the site office throughout the fit-out phase. The project was delivered on a tight two-week turnaround and fully aligned with the project’s sustainability credentials.
Sixty London Wall is a ten-storey, 324,000 sq ft commercial mixed-use office space known for offering modern, stylish workspaces. When Overbury, leading office fit-out specialists, were appointed to deliver the fit-out across Level 4 and part of Level 5, the scope included a full strip-out of the existing CAT A space and the delivery of a high-quality CAT B fit-out.
The project had sustainability embedded in every aspect of design and delivery, from material choices and significant reuse to low-waste construction methods. With clients visiting the active construction site throughout the fit-out phase, Overbury also needed a solution that could provide safe, professional access from the fourth-floor entrance to the site office. Having worked with Westgate Global in the past, the Overbury team knew that Westgate’s hoarding solutions could meet the environmental and quality standards being set by the fit-out around it.
The solution was a bespoke Hoardfast PVC hoarding tunnel, installed at 2.7 metres high and designed with a dog-leg layout to guide visitors safely through the construction environment. A lid was added to the tunnel to improve overhead protection, and double doors were incorporated as emergency exits, ensuring the corridor met both practical and regulatory safety requirements throughout the project.
As with all Overbury projects, sustainability was a key part of the specification process. Hoardfast PVC was a natural fit for the project. Manufactured from 85% recycled materials and fully recyclable at the end of its working life, it directly supports the low-waste construction methodology that Overbury had committed to across the Sixty London Wall project. Unlike traditional hoarding solutions, Hoardfast generates no skip waste on removal, an important consideration on a project where sustainability performance was being formally assessed and certified.
The professional finish of the installed corridor was equally important. In a Grade A office environment, with clients walking through the space throughout the fit-out, the appearance of the temporary infrastructure needed to reflect the quality of the permanent work being delivered around it. Hoardfast delivered that standard.
Before work began, Westgate Global conducted a detailed site visit to assess requirements, discuss fixing methods and ensure the design was fully tailored to the specific conditions of the fourth floor. The project was delivered on a supply-only basis, with all components provided by Westgate Global and the installation completed within a two-week timeframe, a tight turnaround managed without compromise on quality, safety or finish.
The result was a highly functional, visually appropriate client corridor that allowed Overbury to welcome clients with confidence. The fit-out went on to achieve both BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum certifications – a testament to the project’s commitment to sustainability.

"A project of this calibre demands that every element, including temporary site infrastructure, reflects the standards being set by the fit-out itself. Overbury needed a client corridor that was safe, professional and consistent with a project targeting BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum. Hoardfast was fast to install, low-waste by design and smart enough to deliver a professional finish."Westgate Global
