S+B Methodology

Consultancy


S+B is not only a supplier and installer of laboratory furniture and fume cupboards, but also provides specialist consultancy services.

We advise global brands in laboratory science and engineering, as well as independent research facilities of all sizes, and of course Educational institutions such as Universities and High Schools.

We can work as your sole consultant on laboratory layout, design, specification, fit-out and costings, or we can work alongside other consultants on large and multidisciplinary laboratory new-builds and refurbishments.

 


 

Design


S+B offer a bespoke laboratory design service to meet unique challenges, whether that is in your overall use of the space in your premises or developing individual items of furniture and storage to meet your needs.

A bespoke laboratory interior naturally performs more efficiently, as every space can be efficiently utilised, appropriate storage can be located alongside corresponding equipment and instrumentation, and modular design can allow for easy reconfiguration later.

Our bespoke laboratory furniture is designed, developed and produced at our Manchester facility to the highest standards, with both cost and quality in mind at all times, and we welcome all enquiries.

 


 

Manufacture

With more than 50 years of experience in the manufacture and installation of lab furniture and fume cupboards, we have the expertise to produce what you need to the highest standards.

All our bespoke laboratory furniture is manufactured at our facility in Manchester, UK, based on designs drawn up to meet your needs, and with a dual focus on both quality and cost-efficiency.

By manufacturing furniture to meet your laboratory’s precise measurements and applications, we can give you a lab that minimises maintenance and maximises productivity.
