Dilapidations

Lease end works are rarely straightforward. Whether you’re a tenant facing a schedule of dilapidations or a landlord preparing a unit for its next occupier, the difference between a costly claim and a controlled one usually comes down to who does the work and when they start. At SJP Interiors, we deliver dilapidations, strip out and reinstatement works across Milton Keynes and the UK, handling everything from making good after a fit-out to full Cat A reinstatement.

Lease End, Handled Properly

What we Provide

Dilapidations works cover everything needed to return a commercial property to the condition your lease requires. That might mean stripping out partitions, raised floors and suspended ceilings, making good walls and ceilings, reinstating the original M&E layout, or redecorating throughout. We survey the space against the schedule, price the works line by line, and give you a clear, defensible figure you can take back to the other side.

Our team works directly with tenants, landlords, managing agents and building surveyors. We’re used to working to a fixed handover date, and we’re used to the scope moving as negotiations progress.

Delivered on Time, to the Standard Required

Lease end works come with a hard deadline. Miss it, and you’re exposed to holdover rent, loss of rent claims, or a landlord carrying out the works at your cost. With in-house trades and 60 years of commercial experience, we programme the works around your exit, keep disruption to occupied floors to a minimum, and document everything so sign-off is straightforward.

Every project finishes with a full handover pack: before and after photographs, certification and a completed works schedule you can present to the landlord’s surveyor.

We inspect the property against your lease, the schedule of condition and any schedule served.

Scope

We price the works line by line, so you know exactly what's required and what isn't.

We plan the works around your lease end date, access restrictions and building hours.

Tailored Support

Dilapidations Across Milton Keynes and Beyond

Based in Milton Keynes, we carry out dilapidations and lease end works throughout Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire, including Bedford, Luton, Northampton, Watford, Cambridge and Oxford. For multi-site portfolios and larger schemes, we work nationally.

Strip Out & Soft Demolition

Removal of partitions, raised floors, suspended ceilings, kitchens and tenant fit-out works, with waste segregated and disposal certified.

Mechanical & Electrical

Reinstating the original services layout, decommissioning tenant alterations, and testing and certifying everything left in place.

Partitioning & Glazing

Removing or reinstating glass partitions, demountable systems and internal glazing to the original layout.

Making Good

Repairs to walls, floors and ceilings after removals, so the space reads as complete rather than stripped.

Walls & Ceilings

Reinstating ceiling grids and tiles, patching and skimming walls, and repairing damage left behind by fixings and cabling.

Toilets & Washrooms

Repairs, replacements and refurbishment where washroom condition forms part of the claim.

Cat A Reinstatement

Returning the demise to standard shell-and-core specification: ceiling grid, lighting, raised floor, basic M&E distribution and finishes.

Flooring & Decoration

New floor coverings, floor levelling and full internal redecoration to the standard the lease specifies.

Schedule Pricing Support

Independent, line-by-line costing of a served schedule, giving you a credible position for negotiation.
