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.

Dilapidations and strip-out for Essex businesses

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.

Offices in the East of England range from lab-adjacent technology space to traditional town-centre suites, each with very different servicing and specification needs.
