Dilapidations and strip-out explained
Dilapidations works return a leased office to the condition the lease requires at the end of the term, typically removing tenant alterations and repairing or replacing ceilings, floors and decorations.

Strip-out waste is segregated and recycled wherever possible, with waste transfer notes supplied.
At the end of a lease, the landlord's surveyor issues a schedule of dilapidations. We price and carry out the works on that schedule, or help you negotiate a cash settlement by pricing it accurately.
Scotland's office market centres on Edinburgh and Glasgow, with Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness and a spread of business parks and converted sandstone buildings across the regions.
