Planning a strip out in Paddington

Start with the space, access and work that needs to come out. The details below help you choose a service and prepare a useful quote request.

Paddington is terrace country — long Victorian rows on narrow streets, nearly all of it inside a heritage conservation area — so strip outs here are precision work: removing failed interiors while keeping original plaster, fireplaces, staircases and facade fabric intact. Rear-lane access helps some jobs; others hand-carry through the front room. The Oxford Street and William Street strips add gallery, boutique and hospitality defits to the residential base.

  • Victorian terrace strip outs with original fabric protected.
  • Boutique and gallery defits along Oxford Street and William Street.
  • Kitchen and bathroom strip outs with rear-lane removal routes.
  • Selective wall-lining and floor removal ahead of restorations.

02

What needs to come out

Council information for Paddington

Woollahra Municipal Council

Check the relevant planning and heritage information with the council before work starts.

Official council source

Woollahra Municipal Council

Woollahra strip outs sit at the premium end — terrace and apartment refurbishments across Paddington, Double Bay and Vaucluse where heritage controls and tight rear access drive planning. Check current requirements with Woollahra Municipal Council before removing interior fabric.

Some low-impact internal alterations may be exempt development when every relevant NSW Exempt and Complying Development Codes standard is met. Other renovation work may qualify as complying development through a council or registered certifier; a DA may be needed when neither pathway applies.

Paddington sits almost entirely within a heritage conservation area; exempt provisions generally exclude heritage items, so confirm with the council first.

How do you protect heritage features during a Paddington strip out?

We agree a keep-list with you before work starts — original plaster, fireplaces, balustrades, floorboards — then physically protect those elements and strip around them. Work stays within the exempt-development limits that apply in conservation areas, and where a property is individually listed we confirm requirements with Woollahra Council first.
