Refurbishment & Fit Out

The SMS Group is not only a ship repairer and marine engineering services provider; a significant, and increasing, proportion of our annual sales comes from successfully delivering turnkey interior outfit projects onboard cruise ships, ferries and Royal Navy tonnage.

Who are we?

The interiors team within SMS take tremendous pride in their specific area of the broader business; the division is run in a ‘standalone’ autonomous fashion.  This independence helps stimulate a totally client centric ethos which ensures not only the personal touch but also pride in the ownership of projects, and a genuine desire to own not only the scoping and quoting of works, but also the timeliness and professionalism of delivery.  One, dedicated and experienced, Project Manager oversees each piece of work through from client inception to handover; personal relationships are key and nothing gets missed.

  • Turnkey packages of outfit and refurbishment works; both interior and exterior, at refit or in-service (our riding crews work Internationally)
  • Bespoke manufacturing
  • Joinery solutions; to include both restoration/s and French Polishing

  • In service and alongside marine engineering solutions

How do we do it?

We are different. Whilst we’re a niche Global player we’re also a dedicated team. We believe we have an unrivalled focus on the customer. By being innovative, by being a ‘boutique’, and a commercially savvy outfitter we believe we offer larger multi-national customers something very different:

  • A one-to-one focus; seeing all individual projects through from start to finish
  • Our Project Managers quote the job; and then they themselves manage the supply chain and the delivery – thus ensuring nothing gets missed and all supply and logistical items are planned carefully, provisioned and delivered
  • We consider the refit environment; our experience allows us to plan for the unexpected – subject to vessel locations, duration of works and our working area within the vessel
  • Our size allows us to be reactive; pre and during works we will respond to any and all challenges with a positive ‘can do attitude’
