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.

How we deliver it

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to do the dilapidations works ourselves?

Not always. Many tenants agree a cash settlement instead. An accurate contractor price helps that negotiation.

When should we start planning dilaps?

Ideally 6 to 12 months before lease end, so works can be programmed before you move out.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is segregated, recycled where possible and documented with waste transfer notes.

Do you offer dilapidations and strip-out across the UK?

Yes. We deliver dilapidations and strip-out in every UK nation and region, with a free survey wherever you are.
