Dilapidations and strip-out for Reading businesses

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.

Strip-out waste is segregated and recycled wherever possible, with waste transfer notes supplied.

Across the South East, business parks along the M4, M3 and M25 corridors sit alongside town-centre offices above retail and converted period buildings, many of them multi-let.
