Defit

A defit service involves removing all fittings, fixtures, and alterations made to a commercial space during a lease. It returns the premises to its original condition, meeting lease obligations and preparing it for the next tenant or renovation.

A defit service is typically needed at the end of a lease or when vacating a commercial property. It ensures the space is restored as per lease terms, helping avoid extra charges or disputes with landlords over property condition.

A standard defit may include removing flooring, shelving, signage, lighting, partitions, and electrical fittings. It also involves patching, repainting, and cleaning the space to match the original state outlined in the lease agreement or landlord’s requirements.

Yes, many defit providers offer after-hours or weekend services. This helps avoid disrupting nearby businesses or ongoing operations, especially in shopping centres or busy commercial buildings where daytime work may not be practical.

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the site. A small shop may take one to two days, while larger commercial spaces can take up to a week or more. A proper assessment ensures accurate timelines.
