Navigating the world of commercial property can be tricky, and understanding the different types of strip outs is key. A "strip out" basically means removing existing internal features to create a blank canvas.

• Cat A Strip Out: This refers to taking an office back to a bare shell, ready for a new tenant's specific fit-out. It typically involves removing all non-structural elements like suspended ceilings, raised access flooring, internal walls, and existing lighting, leaving a clean, open space with core services (like basic lighting and fire detection) intact. It's about delivering a standard, base build for the landlord.
• Cat B Strip Out: This is more comprehensive. It involves removing a previous tenant's bespoke fit-out, including things like custom partitioning, built-in furniture, reception desks, specialist lighting, data cabling, and tea point facilities. Essentially, it strips the space back to a Cat A standard, or sometimes even further, to meet specific dilapidation requirements at the end of a lease.
