Short answer
An office health audit looks at six areas: walls and finishes, flooring, lighting and signage, reception and common areas, cleanliness and upkeep, and layout. Small problems in each are cheap to fix early and costly to ignore. The Officea Office Health Audit is the first step of REFRESH by Officea and ends in a written plan, a fixed quote and a schedule.
Most offices are repaired only when something becomes embarrassing. A regular audit reverses that: look at the floor on a schedule, fix small things early and avoid waiting for a full rebuild. A good rhythm is every 6 months for basic services. Below are the six areas the Officea Office Health Audit covers, with the problem to look for and the fix.
What should an office health audit look at first: walls and finishes?
Paint condition, marks, damage and touch-up needs. Scuffed walls make a whole floor look older than it is.
Problem: marks from furniture and traffic, peeling or patchy paint, and damage near doors and corridors. Fix: a full-office repaint, or touch-ups on selected walls, finished neatly and planned around working hours. This is the core of the Touch-up package from REFRESH by Officea.
How do I check flooring?
Look for worn carpet tiles, loose edges and high-traffic zones.
Problem: tiles that are frayed or stained in corridors, reception and near the pantry, and edges that lift. Loose edges are also a trip risk. Fix: replace carpet tiles in the high-wear zones, or plan a fuller flooring update if the whole floor has aged.

What problems show up in lighting and signage?
Uneven brightness, dead fittings and tired signage.
Problem: dark patches over workstations, fittings that no longer work and a reception sign that looks dated. Fix: brighter, more even lighting and updated reception and brand signage. For how lighting is specified, see the office lighting design guide.
Why audit reception and common areas?
They set the first impression, and they are what clients and candidates see.
Problem: a reception that no longer reflects the brand, breakout areas nobody uses and a worn pantry. Fix: a reception upgrade and breakout areas your team will actually use. The office reception design article covers what to change first.
What does cleanliness and upkeep tell you?
A deep clean shows how much of the tired look is dirt and how much is wear.
Problem: build-up on carpets, ceilings and fittings that regular cleaning does not reach. Fix: a thorough clean before and after any works, so the floor is ready to use on handover.
Is the layout and space use working for your team?
Check whether one small change, such as another meeting room, would help people work better.
Problem: too few meeting rooms, a cramped pantry or cabins in the wrong place. Fix: partial layout changes, a new meeting room, pantry or cabins, without rebuilding the office. This is the Reboot package. If the layout needs a full rethink, see refresh or full fit-out.
Common questions

How often should an office be audited?
Officea recommends refreshing an office every 6 months for basic services, and an audit is how you decide what each visit needs. The aim is to fix small things early instead of waiting until the office needs a full rebuild.
Does an audit mean a full fit-out?
No. Most findings, such as repainting, carpet tiles, lighting and signage, are refresh-sized. A full fit-out is only needed if the layout or space itself no longer works.
