Strip Outs on the Central Coast

A strip-out removes everything inside a building except the structure. Done well, the next trade walks into a clean shell. Done badly, they walk into the previous tenant's mess.

Commercial strip-outs

Across Gosford's CBD, Erina Fair's surrounds, Tuggerah, Wyong and the industrial estates at West Gosford, Somersby, Lisarow and Berkeley Vale, tenancies turn over and leases end.

Common scope:

  • Make-good at the end of a lease — returning the tenancy to base building condition.
  • Pre-fit-out strip for an incoming tenant.
  • Partial strip of one floor or area while the building operates.
  • Industrial — mezzanines, office pods and redundant plant inside warehouses.

Residential strip-outs

  • Kitchen and bathroom removal ahead of renovation.
  • Whole-of-house interior strip back to frame.
  • Water or fire damage strip-out after an insurance event, coordinated with the assessor.

The structure stays sound and the house stays weathertight.

Services made safe first

Electrical isolation and disconnection by a licensed electrician, plumbing capped by a licensed plumber, and fire services coordinated with the building's fire contractor where relevant. Nothing is cut until it is confirmed dead.

Asbestos

Pre-1990 buildings and fit-outs can contain asbestos in ceiling tiles, vinyl floor tiles and their adhesives, wall linings, pipe lagging and older electrical board backing. The building's asbestos register or a survey is reviewed first, and anything found is removed by a separately licensed asbestos removalist before the strip-out continues. See asbestos removal.

Working in occupied buildings

  • Work hours set with the building manager.
  • Noisy work out of trading hours where required.
  • Dust screens and negative air where needed.
  • Protection of common areas, lifts and loading docks.
  • Waste removed through agreed routes.

Waste

Strip-out waste is highly recyclable if separated — metals, plasterboard, timber, carpet tiles and cabling. Sorting keeps disposal cost down.

Costs

Priced per tenancy or area, by scope, services, access, working hours and waste. See the cost page.

FAQs

Questions people ask before they commit

What is included in a commercial strip-out?

Typically ceilings and grids, partition walls, joinery, floor coverings, redundant electrical and data cabling (made safe by a licensed electrician first), plumbing fixtures, signage inside the tenancy and any fit-out items, leaving the base building structure and base services. The exact scope follows the lease make-good clause or the incoming fit-out design.

Can a strip-out happen while the rest of the building is open?

Yes, commonly. Shopping centres and multi-tenant buildings usually require work-hour restrictions, dust and noise control, protection of common areas, loading dock bookings and after-hours noisy work. These are planned with the building manager before starting.

Is asbestos a risk in strip-outs?

In buildings constructed or fitted out before about 1990, yes — ceiling tiles, vinyl floor tiles, wall linings, pipe lagging and switchboard backing boards are possible locations. An asbestos register or survey is reviewed before work, and removal is by a separately licensed asbestos removalist.

Do you do residential strip-outs?

Yes — kitchens, bathrooms and whole house interiors stripped back ahead of renovation, with the structure left sound and the house weathertight.
