We did a make good in Chatswood on a commercial space, removing the decal signage and the plasterboard partition walls, patching the removed sections and finishing with a full end of lease clean. The job started on 8 October and finished on 14 October.

The decals came off first, then the partitions. The removed plasterboard was wrapped for disposal to eliminate dust transfer, so there are no white footprints tracked through the space like snow. We then delivered it to a waste management facility. Wrapping is more time effective, because there is far less cleanup afterwards. The sections where the partitions stood were made good, and a basic freshen up paint went over the space before the full commercial clean.

The space was left ready for a new owner or tenant in the heart of Chatswood, in one of the prime locations.

Local context

What handyman work in Chatswood actually involves

Chatswood's commercial core means a good share of the work we do here is make good and fit out related, alongside the usual home repairs and maintenance in the surrounding residential streets.

Make goods in commercial suites

When a tenancy changes hands, the outgoing tenant's fit out often needs stripping back before the next one moves in. That can mean removing branded paint colours, patching walls and getting the space back to a neutral state ready for handover.

Working around existing fit outs

Chatswood's office and retail spaces are usually still fitted out when we arrive, which means careful protection of flooring, fixtures and anything staying in place while the work gets done.

Most of our Chatswood work has been commercial, fitting into the turnaround between tenancies. We bring trade qualified joinery and painting skills to that work, and because we're based here, we can usually get on site and finished without the job dragging on.

Yes. We've done make good work in Chatswood, including stripping back a previous tenant's fit out and repainting the space ready for the next occupant. Commercial maintenance is a regular part of our work here.

FAQ: Can you work around an existing office fit out without disrupting the space?

Yes. On a recent Chatswood job the suite had carpeted floors still in place, so we protected them carefully throughout the work. We're used to working in occupied or fitted out commercial spaces.

We're based in Chatswood, so we can usually get on site quickly for jobs in the suburb itself and the surrounding Lower North Shore area.

Yes, we handle both. Our Chatswood work has included commercial make goods, and we also do home repairs, maintenance, joinery and renovations across the area.

FAQ: Can you repaint a space that's had a strong feature colour on the walls?

Yes. We've repainted a wall that was previously an orange marketing colour back to white as part of a Chatswood office make good. If the existing paint is in reasonable condition, minimal prep is usually needed.
