Strip Outs That Keep Strata Onside
14+ Years Experience in Sydney apartment buildings
An apartment strip out is a house strip out compressed into a building full of neighbours. The demolition itself — kitchen, bathroom, flooring, joinery and linings — is the straightforward part. What makes or breaks the job is everything around it: strata approval conditions, building manager coordination, lift bookings and protection, approved work hours, and moving every kilogram of waste out through common areas without leaving a mark. Master Strip Outs has been doing this in Sydney apartment buildings since 2012.
Before work starts we deal with the building, not just the unit. That means reviewing your renovation approval conditions, booking the lift and loading dock with the building manager, laying protection through the lobby, corridors and lift car, and confirming the hours noisy work is permitted — typically weekday business hours under most Sydney strata by-laws. Inside the unit, services are capped by licensed trades, dust barriers seal the entry, and waste is carried out in bins and tubs rather than dragged, keeping common areas clean on every trip.
Owners renovating their own apartment, investors refreshing a unit between tenants, and builders running apartment refurbishments all use the service. A recent example is our completed full apartment strip out at Milsons Point — kitchen, bathroom, floor finishes and joinery removed from a high-rise unit, with lift protection and building-approved hours maintained throughout, handed over broom-clean to the fit out team.
Full apartment strip outs typically cost $2,500-$4,500. Single rooms carry the standard anchors — bathrooms $600-$800, kitchens $800-$1,200 — and multi-unit or whole-floor programmes are quoted per project. Every quote is free, fixed in writing and delivered within 24 hours.

FAQs
Apartment Strip Out FAQs
Common questions about strip outs in strata buildings
How much does an apartment strip out cost in Sydney?
A full apartment strip out typically costs $2,500-$4,500 depending on unit size, floor level, lift access and the building’s permitted work hours. Single rooms follow the standard anchors — bathrooms $600-$800, kitchens $800-$1,200 — and multi-unit programmes are quoted per project. Every quote is free and fixed in writing within 24 hours.
Do I need strata approval before a strip out?
Almost always, yes. Most strata schemes require owners corporation approval for renovations, and strip out work that touches waterproofing or common property usually falls under major renovation by-laws. Get your approval sorted with the strata manager first — then we work strictly within its conditions, complete any contractor induction the building requires, and provide our insurance certificates for the building manager’s records.
What hours can you work in an apartment building?
We work within whatever hours your building permits — typically weekday business hours for noisy work under most Sydney strata by-laws, with some buildings restricting demolition to mid-morning windows. We confirm the permitted hours with the building manager before quoting, and sequence quieter tasks like waste runs around the noisy windows so restricted hours do not blow out the programme.
How long does an apartment strip out take?
Most full apartment strip outs take 2-4 days, depending on unit size, lift access and how tightly the building restricts noisy hours. Our completed strip out at Milsons Point — a full kitchen, bathroom, flooring and joinery removal in a high-rise unit — ran on exactly this model, with lift protection and approved hours maintained throughout. Your written quote confirms the timeline for your building.
How do you get the waste out without damaging common areas?
Protection first, then containment. We board and cover the lift car, lobby and corridor routes before work starts, carry debris out in bins and tubs rather than loose, stage it at the loading dock and remove it the same day. Common areas are cleaned on every run and inspected at the end of each day — the building should never know a demolition crew was in, except for the empty unit.
What is included in a full apartment strip out?
The complete internal fit out: kitchen cabinetry, benchtops and appliances, the bathroom including tiles and membrane, all floor coverings, built-in joinery and wardrobes, and fixtures and fittings — with linings included where your renovation requires it. Services are capped by licensed trades, strata coordination and common area protection are part of the job, and waste removal and a broom-clean handover are included. Call 0424 944 944 to talk through your building’s requirements.
