ICE BT provides professional warehouse reinstatement services in Hampshire for landlords, tenants, property managers and commercial organisations across England. From end-of-lease dilapidation works and warehouse strip-outs to repairs, redecoration and complete industrial unit reinstatement, we can manage the works required to return a commercial property to an agreed condition.
Our experienced commercial team can undertake projects in warehouses, distribution centres, storage facilities, factories, specialist commercial premises and other industrial premises, providing a coordinated service that reduces the need to employ multiple contractors.
Whether you are a tenant approaching the end of a commercial lease or a landlord preparing an industrial property for its next occupier, talk to ICEBT about your warehouse reinstatement requirements.
Warehouse premises can undergo substantial alterations during a commercial tenancy. Racking, mezzanine floors, offices, partitions, electrical installations and other fixtures may have been added or modified to suit the occupier.
At the end of the lease, some or all of these alterations may need to be removed and the affected areas made good, depending on the terms of the lease, licences for alterations and landlord requirements. RICS specifically advises occupiers to establish the extent of their dilapidations obligations and notes that landlords may require tenant alterations to be reinstated.
ICEBT provides the practical contracting expertise required to carry out these works efficiently, safely and to an agreed specification.
Every property and lease is different. ICEBT can tailor the scope of works to your schedule of dilapidations, surveyor’s specification, landlord requirements or agreed reinstatement programme.
Our warehouse reinstatement services can include the following:
We can remove unwanted tenant installations, fixtures and internal structures as part of an end-of-lease warehouse strip-out.
Works can include removing partitions, storage installations, redundant equipment, fixtures, fittings and other alterations before making good the affected areas.
Where a mezzanine floor has been installed during the tenancy and is required to be removed, ICEBT can dismantle the structure and undertake associated making-good works.
This can form part of a wider warehouse dilapidation and reinstatement project.
Warehouse racking, shelving and storage systems can be dismantled and removed where required, allowing the unit to be returned to the layout agreed with the landlord or prepared for a new occupier.
Many industrial units incorporate offices, meeting rooms, welfare areas or partitioned sections that have been added during occupation.
ICEBT can remove or reconfigure internal partitions and associated installations before completing the necessary making-good and finishing works.
Heavy traffic, machinery, racking and day-to-day warehouse operations can result in damage to concrete floors and other surfaces.
Our reinstatement works can include localised floor repairs, making good fixing points and preparing warehouse flooring to the condition specified for handover.
Where fixtures, partitions, equipment or services have been removed, the surrounding walls and ceilings may require repair.
ICEBT can undertake patching, making good and finishing works as part of the wider reinstatement programme.
Where appropriate to the agreed scope, electrical and building services can be removed, altered or reinstated.
This may include redundant lighting, power supplies, cabling and other tenant-installed services that need to be addressed before handover.
Warehouse reinstatement frequently requires decorative works to leave the premises clean and presentable.
ICEBT can undertake internal redecoration of walls, offices and other areas as part of a coordinated reinstatement project.
Our team can carry out repairs and making-good works to elements of the commercial property affected during occupation or removal of tenant installations.
This allows multiple areas of the reinstatement programme to be managed through a single commercial contractor.
Preparing a warehouse for the end of a commercial lease can involve considerably more than simply emptying the building.
A Schedule of Dilapidations may identify outstanding reinstatement, repair, legal compliance and decoration items. The exact obligations depend on the lease and associated documentation, which is why these should be reviewed with the appropriate professional advisers before works begin.
ICEBT can work alongside your property team, facilities manager, building surveyor or other appointed professionals to turn an agreed schedule of works into a practical reinstatement programme.
If your business is relocating or approaching a lease expiry or break date, planning reinstatement works early can provide more time to identify what needs to be completed.
ICEBT can provide a coordinated programme covering multiple trades, helping commercial tenants complete agreed works before handing the premises back.
Our objective is to deliver the required work efficiently while minimising unnecessary disruption to your ongoing operations.
ICEBT also works with commercial landlords, managing agents and property managers requiring vacant warehouse or industrial units to be repaired, reinstated or reconfigured.
Works can be tailored to prepare the premises for marketing, a new tenant or subsequent refurbishment.
This can include removing unwanted installations left by a previous occupier, repairing damaged areas, reconfiguring internal spaces and completing decorative works to create a clean and usable commercial unit.
Our service isn’t limited to traditional warehouses. ICEBT can provide commercial reinstatement and reconfiguration services for:
Commercial reinstatement projects can involve several different trades working to a strict handover deadline.
Using ICEBT to coordinate the project can simplify communication and help ensure individual elements of the work are completed in the correct sequence.
Rather than managing separate contractors for strip-out, repairs, partitioning, flooring and decorating, ICEBT can provide a coordinated approach to the complete project.

What is warehouse reinstatement?
Warehouse reinstatement is the process of returning a warehouse or industrial unit to an agreed condition, often at the end of a commercial tenancy. This can involve removing tenant alterations, completing repairs, making good surfaces and carrying out redecoration.
What is the difference between warehouse reinstatement and dilapidations?
Dilapidations relate to breaches of lease obligations concerning the condition of commercial premises, while reinstatement generally refers to physical works such as removing tenant alterations and returning affected areas to the required condition. The two frequently form part of the same end-of-lease project.
Do I have to remove a mezzanine floor at the end of a warehouse lease?
Not necessarily. Whether a mezzanine or other alteration must be removed depends on the lease, any licence for alterations and the landlord’s requirements. These documents should be checked before instructing removal works. RICS notes that reinstatement requirements should be considered in the context of the relevant lease documents.
Can ICEBT work from a Schedule of Dilapidations?
Yes. ICEBT can undertake the physical works specified within an agreed project scope or Schedule of Dilapidations, working alongside the client’s surveyor or property team where required.
Can you remove warehouse racking and partitions?
Yes. Racking, partitions, storage installations and other internal alterations can form part of a wider warehouse strip-out and reinstatement project, subject to the agreed scope.
