Discuss your dilapidations works

Bring us your surveyor’s schedule, the agreed scope and your target handback date. We assess the building and access requirements, then provide an itemised quotation and programme for the works.


Works planned around your handback date

We agree the required works, access arrangements and programme before mobilisation. Where the property remains occupied, phasing and separation are assessed during the survey. Assumptions, exclusions and specialist responsibilities are set out in the quotation.

Dilapidation works KRP can deliver

Strip-out of agreed tenant installations; reinstatement and making good; repairs and redecoration; coordination of relevant building services; waste removal; final cleaning, snagging and handover documentation. The exact package depends on the surveyed property and agreed specification.

From schedule to completed dilapidation works

  1. Share the brief: send the property address, your surveyor’s schedule, available drawings and target handback date.
  2. Assess the building: review access, existing services, retained items and any occupied areas that affect delivery.
  3. Agree the quotation: confirm the works, specification, exclusions and responsibilities before mobilisation.
  4. Plan the programme: sequence strip-out, reinstatement, services and finishes around the agreed completion date.
  5. Complete and hand over: finish snagging and provide the documentation included in the agreed package.

What affects the cost and programme?

The extent of strip-out, condition of existing finishes and services, access restrictions, working hours and required specification all affect the quotation. A site assessment and an agreed scope give a more useful basis for pricing than a generic rate per square metre. Share your handback date early so the programme can be assessed before you commit.

Relevant commercial refurbishment experience

KRP’s Staple House project in Winchester involved strip-out and CAT A refurbishment across three floors. The Chichester commercial refurbishment demonstrates coordination of interiors and building services.

Frequently asked questions

Can you price works from my surveyor’s schedule?

Yes. KRP can assess the building works in a supplied schedule and provide an itemised quotation against the agreed scope, subject to survey.

What information should I have ready?

The property address, schedule or proposed works, available drawings, access arrangements and target completion or handback date. Initial enquiries can start with your contact details and postcode.

Do you carry out surveys or negotiate lease liabilities?

KRP’s service on this page is the pricing and delivery of building works. Your appointed surveyor and legal advisers should confirm lease interpretation, liabilities and any settlement.

Can work take place before we move out?

Potentially, where the layout and nature of the work allow safe phasing. Access, working hours and separation are assessed before agreeing a programme.

Do you handle strip-out waste?

Waste removal can be included in the agreed works package. The quotation will set out the scope and any specialist requirements.
