Questions

Strip out: common questions

Do I need an asbestos survey before strip out?

Yes, for buildings built before 2000. It must be done before work starts so anything found can be dealt with safely.

Can you help with dilapidations?

Yes. Contractors can price and carry out the works listed in your landlord's schedule of dilapidations.

What happens to the waste?

It goes to licensed waste carriers, with as much as possible recycled. You should get waste transfer notes for your records.
