Who We Work With in Southampton
Commercial Tenants
Businesses vacating a commercial property in Southampton who need to meet their lease obligations before returning the keys. We work from schedules of condition and dilapidations assessments to ensure works meet the required standard.
Landlords and Managing Agents
Property owners and managing agents preparing a Romsey commercial unit for re-letting. We carry out the decoration and reinstatement works needed to return the property to a lettable standard efficiently and to a proper commercial finish.
Property and Facilities Managers
Those managing dilapidations across a commercial portfolio in Romsey who need a reliable contractor they can instruct directly and trust to deliver without close supervision.

How we work
We Work From Your Documents
Send us the schedule of condition, the dilapidations assessment or the landlord's requirements and we will price from those directly. You get a quotation that reflects what is actually needed, not a vague estimate that grows once we are on site.
A Defined Programme
Lease-end works often come with a fixed deadline. We plan the programme to meet it. You will know the start date, the completion date and how the works will be sequenced before we begin.
A Single Point of Contact
You will have one consistent point of contact throughout. One person who knows the scope, the deadline and the requirements. If a question comes up or something needs resolving, you will get a fast, clear answer.
Documented Handover
On completion, we provide a documented record of the works carried out. This gives landlords and surveyors a clear basis for sign-off and gives tenants the evidence they need that their obligations have been met.

25 years of commercial experience
