The make good clause decides the job, so we start there
Most defit disputes happen because nobody read the lease properly. Tenants pay for work they never owed, or hand back a tenancy that fails inspection and burns the bond. Our first step on every defit is the make good clause itself: what condition the lease actually requires, and nothing more.
Then you get one fixed price for the defit and the make good together, so there is no gap between the contractor who ripped it out and the one who was supposed to patch and paint.
Whether you call it an office strip out, a shop defit or an office make good, the job is the same: hand the tenancy back clean, compliant and on time, with the bond intact.
What a defit with us covers
- Partitions, ceilings, joinery and floor coverings out
- Services safely disconnected and capped by licensed trades
- Patching, painting and reinstatement to the lease standard
- Signage down, penetrations made good
- Final clean and handover inspection with the building manager
Getting the landlord to sign off
We photograph the tenancy before and after, keep the waste dockets, and walk the handover with the building manager so issues are fixed on the spot rather than argued about after the keys are back. The paper trail is what gets bonds released.
Tight deadlines
Lease expiry dates do not move, so we work backwards from yours. Night and weekend shifts are normal for occupied buildings, and small tenancies can often be turned around inside a week.
Frequently asked
Can you tell me what my lease actually requires?
Send the make good clause and we will tell you plainly what you owe and what you do not. It regularly saves tenants thousands.
Do you handle the whole make good or just the strip out?
The whole thing: strip out, patch, paint, reinstatement and handover. One contract, one point of blame if anything is wrong.
What if the building has asbestos?
Common in older Sydney stock. We hold the licences in the group, so a find is handled without stopping the clock on your lease.
How late can we book you before lease end?
The earlier the better, but we have rescued plenty of two-week deadlines. Call and we will tell you honestly if it fits.
Lease end approaching?
Send the make good clause or just the address. We will price the defit properly and get the landlord off your back.
