Cat A refers to bringing an office space back to a basic, functional condition – often known as a "shell" or "landlord's finish." This typically means removing all previous tenant fit-outs and leaving behind a stripped-back space that includes raised access flooring, suspended ceilings, basic lighting, core services (like air conditioning and heating distribution), and fire detection systems. It's the ideal solution for landlords in Selby looking to offer a fresh, neutral canvas for prospective tenants, allowing them maximum flexibility for their own design and branding. Our team ensures every Cat A strip out is executed cleanly, leaving the property ready for its next chapter.

In contrast, a Cat B strip out involves removing specific elements of a previous tenant's bespoke fit-out. This is commonly required at the end of a lease, where a business needs to return the premises to a pre-defined condition as per their dilapidations clause. This might include dismantling bespoke office partitions, removing specific internal walls, kitchen units, reception desks, bespoke flooring, data cabling, and even specialist lighting or unique design features. Our expert team handles these more nuanced removals with precision, ensuring only the specified items are taken out, helping you meet your lease obligations efficiently and avoid costly penalties in your Selby property.
