Partial Demolition and Strip Outs Ultimo
Strip outs, partial demolition and end of lease make goods for Ultimo businesses and apartment owners, between Broadway, Harris Street and Darling Harbour.
Ultimo strip outs for businesses, landlords and apartment owners
From shopfronts on Broadway to offices along Harris Street, WasteWise Services is ready to strip out Ultimo tenancies and apartments of any size. We remove fit-outs, partitions, ceilings, kitchens, bathrooms and flooring, then prepare the space for whatever comes next. Our experienced team is led by qualified carpenters who understand how each building was put together.
Ultimo is a suburb of campuses, studios and apartments. University and TAFE students keep cafes and shops busy, media and technology businesses fill the offices, and most residents live in units. That mix means a steady flow of tenants moving in, upgrading and moving out.
Partial demolition in Ultimo is about removing only what the job needs. It could be a non-structural wall in an apartment, a shopfront counter or an old office layout that no longer works. We look after approvals, disconnections and safety paperwork first, so the work runs cleanly with minimal disruption.
Office strip out and end of lease services in Ultimo
These are the services Ultimo clients ask for most, and many jobs use more than one.
Office and Studio Strip Outs
Workstations, partitions, acoustic panels, ceilings and cabling removed from offices and creative studios. We keep lifts, corridors and shared entries clean for other tenants while the job is under way.
End of Lease Strip Outs in Ultimo
Make good works that return your tenancy to the condition set in the lease. We take photos of the finished space, which helps when the landlord or agent inspects.
Cafe and Shopfront Strip Outs
Counters, kitchens, shelving and signage cleared from cafes and retail spaces serving Ultimo's students and workers. The shop is left empty and ready for the next tenant's fit-out.
Apartment Renovation Strip Outs
Kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins and floor finishes stripped from Ultimo units before a renovation. We follow strata rules and protect common property from the lift to your front door.
Partial Demolition
Selected non-structural walls, bulkheads and fit-out elements removed while the rest of the building stays intact. We take the same care in a modern block as in an adapted warehouse.
Asbestos Removal
Buildings and fit-outs from before the late 1980s may contain asbestos containing materials. We bring over 25 years of experience and remove them safely to Australian Standards.
Our Ultimo job process, step by step
Clear communication at each stage, so you always know what is happening next.
Site inspection and quote
We visit the tenancy or apartment, agree what is removed and what stays, and check for asbestos containing materials before we prepare your quote.
Approvals, disconnections and bookings
We arrange the approvals and disconnections, then book lifts, loading areas and working hours with the building manager or strata.
Controlled removal
The team strips out the agreed items using hand tools and small plant. Retained walls, floors and services are protected, with minimal disruption to neighbours.
Waste out through skip bins or rubbish removal
Materials are sorted and taken away through skip bin hire or rubbish removal, which ensures the site stays clear as the job progresses.

What drives renovation and strip out work in Ultimo
Ultimo sits beside Darling Harbour and Pyrmont, just south-west of the Sydney CBD, and falls under the City of Sydney. In the late 1800s it was a busy residential area. In the early 1900s, factories, woolstores and a power station replaced hundreds of houses. Many of those large industrial buildings still stand, and the council’s planning controls ask for them to be protected and adapted for new uses. For a strip out, that means knowing which elements belong to the original building and leaving them alone.
Education and media anchor the suburb. The University of Technology Sydney has its main campus here, including UTS Central on Broadway, completed in 2019. TAFE NSW Ultimo on Harris Street is the largest TAFE NSW campus in the state, and the ABC’s headquarters is also on Harris Street. Around them are cafes, shops, studios and offices that change hands as leases end and businesses grow. Parts of Ultimo sit within the NSW Government’s Tech Central precinct around Central station.
Change continues across the suburb. The Powerhouse in Ultimo is closed for a $300 million heritage revitalisation, with reopening targeted for 2027. Ultimo is also one of the sub-precincts in the Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy. That plan allows for more jobs and homes over the next 20 years.
Most Ultimo residents live in apartments, with units making up close to nine in ten homes at the 2021 census. Residential jobs are mostly kitchen and bathroom strip outs under strata rules, planned around lifts, neighbours and building hours.

Ultimo strip out questions answered
Do you strip out offices and studios in Ultimo?
Yes. An office strip out in Ultimo usually covers workstations, partitions, acoustic treatments, ceilings and cabling, and studios are much the same. We plan the work with building management so neighbouring tenants can keep working.
Can you prepare a cafe or shop near the university for a new tenant?
Yes. We clear counters, kitchens, shelving and signage, then leave the tenancy empty and clean. If the lease has a make good clause, we scope the strip out to match it.
Do you do end of lease strip outs in Ultimo?
Yes. We read your lease, strip the tenancy back to the required condition and take photos of the finished space. That makes the handover with your landlord much simpler.
Can you work in an older industrial building in Ultimo?
Yes. Many of Ultimo's large historical buildings have been adapted for offices and apartments. We identify what is original, protect it, and remove only the later fit-out agreed in the scope.
Which council approves strip outs and partial demolition in Ultimo?
Can you strip out a kitchen or bathroom in my Ultimo apartment?
Yes. We follow the building's by-laws, book lifts and loading, and protect common areas. The room is left stripped and clean, ready for your renovation.
