Tenants may need end of lease dilapidations (dilaps) works to return a leased property to the condition specified in the lease agreement.

Ambrey Baker delivers structured dilapidations works. These help tenants meet lease obligations while protecting operational continuity and cost control.

With almost 40 years of experience, our team understands the technical and logistical challenges involved. This includes restoring warehouses, manufacturing sites and commercial facilities.

Our works typically include reinstating internal layouts, removing tenant-installed equipment and repairing building fabric. We also refurbish internal finishes and restore external elements such as roofing, cladding and loading infrastructure.

Lease requirements may also require reinstatement or removal of mechanical and electrical services. Our team carefully plans all works to align with dilapidations schedules prepared by surveyors and to ensure that reinstatement works meet the agreed lease standards.

Many dilapidations projects take place within operational facilities. Others happen within tight timescales between occupiers. Our team regularly deliver works in live environments. Careful sequencing, access planning and coordination help maintain safety and minimise disruption to ongoing operations.

Compliance is a central part of dilapidations works. Projects may need to reflect lease obligations and the legal framework surrounding dilapidations claims. This can include the Dilapidations Protocol in England and Wales and relevant health and safety duties where reinstatement works involve construction activity.
Ambrey Baker works closely with tenants, landlords, surveyors and legal teams to ensure the scope of works aligns with the schedule of dilapidations and the legal obligations set out within the lease. Our structured delivery approach supports efficient reinstatement works. It also maintains clear information on programme, cost and compliance.

At the end of a lease, organisations often face tight timelines and complex obligations. Our team also provides practical technical support and construction expertise to resolve these requirements and return the property in the required condition, allowing clients to conclude their lease commitments with confidence.
