Need the rest of the office exit handled too?
Clearance, make-good and commercial cleaning can be combined under one agreed office-exit scope. One company manages the physical handback without the stress of multiple sub-contractors.
Commercial Building Access Support
Where required, Sydney Office Clearance can coordinate clearance-related access requirements with your building or property manager, including loading dock or goods-lift bookings, access windows, public liability documentation and vehicle details once confirmed.
You remain informed throughout, while we coordinate the clearance requirements needed for the agreed scope.
Clearance-related access coordination includes:
Note: Sydney Office Clearance coordinates physical clearance access for the agreed scope. Lease handover approvals, structural make-good, and landlord lease sign-offs remain the responsibility of the client.
Frequently Asked Questions
What office make-good work can you coordinate?
We coordinate minor, non-structural physical handback repairs requested by landlords or building managers. This includes removing TV brackets and wall fixings, plaster patching screw holes, touch-up painting to specified paint codes, company signage and vinyl decal removal, and removing floor tape residue.
Can make-good be combined with clearance and cleaning?
Yes. Sydney Office Clearance can combine office furniture clearance, minor make-good patching, and final commercial cleaning under one coordinated proposal and single point of contact. This eliminates managing multiple trade contractors separately.
Can you patch holes left by wall-mounted items?
Yes. We patch and sand anchor holes, screw holes, and wall plugs left by televisions, whiteboards, picture rails, monitor arms, and shelving so walls are flat, smooth, and ready for handover.
Will touch-up paint perfectly match the existing wall?
Exact painting results depend on wall age, paint code availability, and natural sunlight fading. If you provide the original paint specification, spot touch-ups can blend closely. If no paint code exists or the wall is faded, rolling the full wall from corner to corner provides the neatest finish.
Can you remove signage and adhesive?
Yes. We safely remove reception company logos, acrylic lettering, frosted privacy film, and sticky duct tape or adhesive residue from floors and walls.
How is office make-good priced?
Office make-good is custom quoted after reviewing photos of the affected walls, fixings, ceiling height, and your landlord handback checklist. We itemize all physical repair items clearly before booking.
What work requires specialist or licensed providers?
Major structural alterations, inter-tenancy drywall demolition, hardwired electrical work, commercial plumbing, and base-building fire safety systems (sprinklers/alarms) require licensed specialist trades and are excluded from our minor make-good scope.
How are invoices issued for corporate accounting?
Sydney Office Clearance is not registered for GST. Invoicing is issued as a standard invoice, not a tax invoice, and no GST is added.
Have a Landlord Make-Good Works List?
