Strip outs in Haymarket for restaurants, shops and offices
WasteWise Services is the team to call when you need to strip out Haymarket restaurants, shops, offices or apartments. We work for tenants, landlords and strata owners across Chinatown, Railway Square and the blocks around Central station. We clear out old fit-outs, commercial kitchens, shopfront joinery, ceilings and partitions, then hand back a clean space for the next tenant or builder. Our crews are led by qualified carpenters, so they know which parts of a building can come out and which must stay.
Haymarket moves quickly. Restaurants and shops in the narrow Chinatown frontages change hands often, and the offices around Central keep refitting as the tech precinct grows. Most of our Haymarket projects are commercial, from a single hospitality venue to a whole office level. Residential jobs here are mostly apartment kitchens and bathrooms, run under strata rules.
Partial demolition in Haymarket means removing selected parts of a tenancy while the base building stays untouched. That might be internal walls, bulkheads, counters or raised floor platforms. We sort the approvals, disconnections and paperwork first. Then the work is done properly, without cutting corners.
Office strip out and end of lease services in Haymarket
Most Haymarket jobs mix two or three of these, so one crew looks after the removal, the waste and the paperwork.
Restaurant and Shop Strip Outs
Kitchens, counters, fixtures, cool room panels, signage and flooring removed from Chinatown restaurants, food outlets and retail shops. We work around neighbouring traders so their customers can still get through the door.
Office Strip Outs in Haymarket
Partitions, workstations, ceilings, carpet and cabling cleared from office floors near Central and Railway Square. We book lifts and loading access with building management and keep common areas clean for other tenants.
End of Lease Make Good Works
We read your make good clause, strip the tenancy back to what the lease asks for and prepare the property for inspection. That gives you a straightforward handover with your landlord or agent.
Partial Demolition
Selected non-structural walls, bulkheads, counters and platforms removed from shops, offices and apartments. Retained walls, services and the base building are protected throughout, whether it is a warehouse conversion or a modern tower.
Asbestos Removal
Older Haymarket warehouses and shopfronts can hide asbestos containing materials behind later fit-outs. We bring over 25 years of experience identifying and removing them safely, to Australian Standards.
Skip Bins and Rubbish Removal
Waste is sorted and taken away through skip bin hire or rubbish removal runs, with compliant disposal. Pick-ups are timed around busy footpaths, light rail streets and building loading docks.
How a Haymarket strip out runs
Every step is agreed with you, and with your building manager or strata committee where one is involved.
Walk-through and written scope
We inspect the tenancy or apartment, mark what comes out and what stays, and look for asbestos containing materials before anything is disturbed.
Approvals and building access
We organise the approvals and disconnections your job needs, along with lift and loading bookings in managed buildings.
Timing that suits the building
Noisy work is planned around trading hours for minimal disruption, so the restaurant or office next door can keep operating.
Careful removal and sorted waste
Our team removes the agreed items with hand tools and small plant, separates the waste and moves it out through bins or rubbish removal.

Local knowledge for Haymarket jobs
Haymarket sits at the southern end of the Sydney CBD and falls under the City of Sydney. It takes in Chinatown, Thaitown and Railway Square, with Central station on its southern edge. The council treats Haymarket and Chinatown as a special character area in its planning controls. Its planning statement points to the warehouses and service laneways left from the old markets, along with narrow frontages and generally low buildings. For strip out work, that means small tenancies, shared walls and tight access.
The area is changing again. In December 2023 the City of Sydney endorsed its Haymarket and Chinatown Revitalisation Strategy. It includes grants to help Dixon Street businesses upgrade their shopfronts. The council has also moved to list more Chinatown buildings as local heritage items. When a tenancy sits in or beside a listed building, we confirm what the approvals allow before any fit-out comes out.
Around Central, the NSW Government’s Tech Central precinct is drawing technology companies into the southern CBD. Atlassian’s new headquarters on Lee Street is part of that growth. Metro platforms opened at Central in August 2024, and light rail runs along George Street and past Paddy’s Markets and Capitol Square. More workers and visitors mean more offices, shops and food outlets fitting out and moving on. That keeps office strip outs and end of lease strip outs in steady demand across Haymarket.
Almost every home in Haymarket is an apartment, so residential jobs run through strata. We plan lift protection, loading and working hours with the building manager before we start. Older warehouses and shopfronts may contain asbestos containing materials, so we check first.

Haymarket strip out and partial demolition FAQs
Can you strip out a Chinatown restaurant without disrupting the shops next door?
Yes. We protect shared walls and common areas, keep dust contained and plan noisy work with the centre or building manager. Neighbouring traders can keep serving while we work.
Do you do office strip outs near Central station?
Yes. We strip out office space of any size around Central and Railway Square, from a single suite to a full level. Lifts, loading and building rules are sorted with management so other tenants are not held up.
What does an end of lease strip out in Haymarket involve?
It depends on your lease. Usually it means removing your fit-out, making good the items the lease lists and handing back a clean tenancy. We work from the lease and your landlord's requirements, not guesswork.
