A Cat A strip out refers to taking an office space back to its fundamental building shell. This is typically done when a landlord wants to prepare a space for a new tenant, offering them a blank canvas to design their ideal working environment. During a Cat A strip out, we meticulously remove all non-structural elements from previous tenancies. This often includes things like internal partitioning, suspended ceilings, flooring finishes, lighting, power points, and sometimes even basic heating and ventilation systems. The goal is to leave a clean, clear space, ready for the tenant to install their specific fit-out and branding. It means the new occupants can truly make the space their own without dealing with previous tenants' designs or dated installations.

A Cat B strip out is a more targeted service, focusing on removing a specific tenant's fit-out. This is common at the end of a lease, where the previous tenant needs to return the premises to a pre-agreed condition, often a Cat A standard or specific landlord requirements. Our team carefully dismantles and removes everything associated with the tenant's particular design. This includes bespoke office partitioning, reception areas, specialised lighting, IT infrastructure, bespoke flooring, kitchenettes, and any other internal walls or features that were part of their unique layout. We understand the precise nature of dilapidation requirements and work diligently to meet them, saving businesses time and potential penalties.
