Defit and strip-out works in Perth
When a lease ends, most landlords require the tenancy to be returned to the condition it was handed over in. The defit is the first half of that: taking out everything the outgoing tenant added. CT Building Maintenance handles the strip-out and the rubbish, then our make good works team repairs and repaints so the space is ready for the next tenant.
One family owned Perth team, 20+ years of experience, and a single point of contact from the first site visit to handover.
What a defit includes
Strip-out of the tenancy
Removal of partition walls, built-in joinery and reception desks, kitchenettes, floor coverings, signage, blinds and any fixtures the lease requires the tenant to take out.
Services and rubbish handled
Disconnection and removal of redundant data cabling and tenant-installed services by the appropriate trades, with all waste removed from site and the area left clean and safe.
Scoped against your lease
Where required, we attend site with the lease make-good clause in hand, confirm exactly what must come out and what must be reinstated, and give you a detailed quote outlining the scope and costs, with no hidden surprises.

Defit questions, answered
What is a defit?
A defit (also called a strip-out) is the removal of everything a tenant added to a commercial tenancy during their lease: partition walls, joinery, kitchenettes, floor coverings, signage, blinds and tenant-installed services. It is usually required by the lease when the tenant moves out.
What is the difference between a defit and make good?
The defit is the removal work. Make good is the repair and reinstatement that follows, such as patching and painting walls, repairing ceilings and floors and returning the space to base-building condition. CT Building Maintenance can do both, so you deal with one team.
Do you remove the rubbish?
Yes. All strip-out waste is removed from site and the tenancy is left clean and safe for the next stage of work or for handover.
Can you work after hours or around other tenants?
Yes. We work with the building or centre manager on access, lift bookings and timing so noisy work happens when it causes the least disruption to neighbouring tenancies.
