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.








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.
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.
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.
