Office reinstatement
Close the lease with a clear handback plan.
Reinstatement is defined by your lease and landlord requirements. Establish the required end condition early, then coordinate removal, services works and inspection around the handback deadline.
For tenants vacating premises or coordinating an office move with the return of an existing floor.

How the scope progresses
A sequence you can follow.
Review lease obligations and landlord handback requirements.
Confirm retained elements, removals and specialist works.
Coordinate access, removal, testing and inspection dates.
Record defects, agreed completion and handback documents.
Practical questions
Before you begin.
Does reinstatement always mean bare shell?
No. Read the lease, agreed condition schedule and landlord instructions. Do not assume a standard scope across buildings.
Can furniture and partitions be reused?
Potential reuse depends on condition, removal feasibility and whether the outgoing and incoming programmes align.
Can you guarantee the deposit is returned?
No. Deposit arrangements are governed by the lease and landlord acceptance, not a contractor promise.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the lease requirements, floor plan, current-condition photos, landlord manual and required handback date.
