Office and retail strip-outs and defits

An office strip out (or defit) removes a tenancy’s fit-out at the end of a lease: partitions, workstations, flooring, joinery, signage and furniture, back to the make-good condition the lease requires. Quick Rubbish Removal strips and removes fit-outs across Melbourne, working nights and weekends where the building demands it.

The deadline is the job

Every strip out has a hard date: the lease ends, the handover is booked, the penalty clock starts. We price from your scope and photos, lock the program, and clear floor by floor so the make-good trades can follow straight behind us.

What we strip and remove

Workstations, desks, chairs and loose furniture
Partitions and plasterboard walls (non-structural)
Carpet tiles, vinyl and floor coverings
Kitchenettes, joinery and shelving
Retail counters, racking and displays
Signage and general fit-out debris

Buildings, docks and after-hours work

CBD and managed buildings have rules: dock bookings, service lifts, protected paths, approved hours. We deal with building management, protect the common areas and run the job after hours when trading floors or neighbours require it.

Defit only, or defit plus make-good support

If you only need the fit-out gone, we clear it. If you are managing a full make good, we coordinate our removal stage with your other trades so the handover date holds. Either way the quote is fixed before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a strip out and a defit?

Same job, two names. Both mean removing a tenancy’s fit-out, usually to satisfy the make-good clause in a lease.

Can you work after hours?

Yes. Retail and office buildings often require it, and we price night and weekend windows into the fixed quote.

Do you remove the partitions or just the rubbish?

Both. We strip non-structural fit-out and remove everything we strip. Structural demolition needs a licensed demolisher, and we can work alongside one.

How fast can a strip out happen?

A single office floor is typically one to three days depending on lift access. Send the scope and the handover date and we quote the program with the price.
