Closing, relocating or refurbishing?
We Know the Pressure of store Transitions
We make sure your tenancy handover is fast, landlord-approved, and completely hassle-free, so you can walk away with your bond intact and your reputation protected.
When you manage defits across multiple locations, consistency is everything. One missed deadline, one non-compliant make-good, and you’re dealing with unnecessary costs, strained landlord relationships, and delayed store closures. We take that risk off your plate by delivering every project to spec, on schedule, and without disruption to surrounding tenants. You get a single point of contact, predictable results, and the confidence that your brand’s exit process will always be handled professionally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make sure my handover meets the landlord’s make-good requirements?
Yes — we work to your exact lease conditions and the centre’s standards, so your handover passes the first time and you avoid extra charges or losing your bond.
Can you work outside of trading hours?
Absolutely — we schedule noisy or disruptive work after-hours, and keep dust, noise, and mess to a minimum so you leave on good terms.
How quickly can you complete my defit?
Most retail defits can be completed in as little as 24–96 hours, meaning you can meet your lease deadline without last-minute stress.
Do you offer fixed quotes?
Yes. We scope the job clearly up front, avoid unnecessary extras, and handle the work efficiently so you only pay for what’s needed — no hidden surprises.
Do you take care of all the waste removal?
Yes — we remove all debris, fixtures, and fittings, and recycle wherever possible so you don’t have to organise skip bins or separate materials yourself.
