Strip Outs That Keep Strata Onside
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.
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.

FAQs
Apartment Strip Out FAQs
Do I need strata approval before a strip out?
Usually, 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 requested contractor records 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?
Apartment strip out timing depends on unit size, lift access, protection requirements, noisy-work windows and how many rooms are included. Our completed Milsons Point apartment strip out followed this model, with lift protection and approved hours maintained throughout. Your written quote confirms the programme 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 as part of the job. Common areas are cleaned on each run and inspected at handover so shared spaces stay presentable outside the empty unit.
What is included in a full apartment strip out?
The internal fit out listed in your quote can include kitchen cabinetry, benchtops and appliances, bathroom fixtures and finishes, floor coverings, built-in joinery, wardrobes and selected linings. Where affected services need licensed work, we coordinate the appropriate trades. Strata access, common-area protection, agreed waste removal and the broom-clean handover are confirmed in the quote. Call 0424 944 944 to talk through your building’s requirements.
