Frequently asked questions

What are dilapidation works?

Dilapidation works refer to the repairs and reinstatement required to return a leased property to its original condition at the end of a tenancy. This can include structural repairs, decoration and removing tenant-installed fixtures or alterations.

When should I start planning dilapidation works?

Ideally, you should begin planning several months before your lease ends. Early assessment allows time for accurate cost estimates, landlord discussions, and scheduling work without delaying handover or incurring additional charges.

Do you handle both commercial and industrial properties?

Yes. Fortis Constructs manages dilapidation and restoration projects across all sectors, including offices, retail spaces, warehouses and industrial units.

Can you work directly with my landlord or property manager?

Yes. We regularly liaise with landlords, managing agents and surveyors to coordinate works, provide progress updates and ensure everything meets the required specifications for a smooth sign-off.

How long does a typical restoration project take?

This depends on the size and condition of the property, as well as the scope of work required. After our initial site visit, we’ll provide a clear schedule and timeline so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
