London Dilaps Ltd provides a complete range of commercial lease-end services for office tenants, landlords and surveyors across London and the wider South East. Every service we offer sits within our core specialism — end-of-lease dilapidations and reinstatement — which means our teams are experienced, our pricing is accurate and our delivery is consistently reliable.
Whether you need a full dilapidations programme, a straightforward office strip-out, a CAT A reinstatement to landlord specification, or a smaller package of make-good and compliance works, we manage the entire process from initial assessment through to final handover. All works are delivered under a single, fixed-price contract with one dedicated point of contact throughout.
We work across all major London commercial districts — from the City of London and Canary Wharf to the West End, Southbank and beyond — as well as in key commuter towns and business parks across Surrey, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Kent. Our focus is simple: deliver the works your lease requires, to the standard your landlord expects, on time and within budget — without unnecessary cost or complication.
At the end of your lease, we ensure your office is returned to the condition required by your landlord. Our team handles all aspects of dilapidations, including repairs, reinstatement, decoration and full compliance with the lease and schedule of condition.
