Commercial office defit for Inner West tenancies
Master Strip Outs defits office tenancies across the Inner West, where the office stock looks nothing like a CBD tower: creative studios and agency spaces in converted warehouses around Marrickville and the Alexandria fringe, offices above King Street and Parramatta Road shopfronts, and suites in older commercial buildings in Leichhardt and Balmain. These fitouts are often heavily customised — mezzanine floors, exposed-service partitions, built-in joinery and studio infrastructure bolted straight into the original shell.
The defit challenge is separation: taking out everything the tenant added while preserving the fabric the landlord is really leasing — timber floors, brick walls, sawtooth roofs and original steelwork. We remove workstations, partitions, mezzanine offices, kitchens, cabling and floor coverings while protecting the shell, and where a fitout includes structural additions we flag the approval question early: non-structural internal demolition generally needs no council approval, but structural removals typically need a CDC or DA with an engineer, best confirmed with a private certifier.
Standard office defits run 3–7 days here too, with larger or more complex warehouse tenancies at 2–3 weeks, and every job ends with a broom-clean handover and a landlord or agent walk-through.

FAQs
Office Defit Inner West FAQs
Common questions about office defit in the Inner West
Can you remove a mezzanine office from our Marrickville warehouse tenancy?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common items in Inner West office defits. Bolted-in mezzanines and platforms are dismantled and removed as part of the strip out; where a mezzanine is structural or tied into the building, its removal typically needs a CDC or DA with an engineer involved, so we flag that during the inspection and recommend confirming the pathway with a private certifier before the programme is locked in.
Will the strip out damage the original floors and brickwork the landlord wants back?
Protecting the original fabric is the point of a warehouse defit done well. We map what is tenant fitout versus original shell during the inspection, use fixings-out removal methods rather than brute demolition around timber and brick, and lift floor coverings and adhesives carefully where original boards sit underneath. The landlord gets back the character shell they lease on.
How long does an office defit take in the Inner West?
A standard office defit runs 3–7 days. Converted-warehouse tenancies with mezzanines, custom joinery or rear-lane-only access tend toward the longer end, and larger or more complex spaces can take 2–3 weeks. We confirm the programme after the free site inspection so your handover date holds.
