Professional 'Make Good' Services Across Melbourne and Australia
Restore your warehouse floors to original condition with professional ‘make good’ services from Outer Space Installations.

With over 30 years of combined experience and modern German Hilti drilling equipment, we provide efficient, professional make good services that protect your deposit and maintain positive landlord relationships throughout Melbourne and across Australia.
When Do You Need ‘Make Good’ & Core Drilling Services?
Professional make good services are essential in several key scenarios:
End of Lease Requirements: Most commercial warehouse leases require tenants to remove all installed racking systems and restore floors to original condition. Failure to meet these obligations can result in significant penalty costs and deposit forfeiture.
Warehouse Relocation: When moving to a new facility, lease agreements typically require complete removal of all mechanical anchors, bolts, and drilling marks used to secure racking systems.
System Upgrades: Installing new racking systems may require removing old anchor points and properly filling existing holes to ensure optimal floor conditions for new installations.
Floor Preparation: Preparing warehouse floors for new tenants or different operational requirements often requires removing previous installations and restoring smooth, level surfaces.
Compliance Requirements: Some industries or insurance requirements mandate removal of unused anchor points to eliminate trip hazards and ensure workplace safety compliance.
Property Sale Preparation: Property owners may require complete floor restoration to maximise sale value and eliminate potential buyer concerns about industrial installations.


Our 'Make Good' Process
1. Site Assessment and Scope Definition
Our experienced team evaluates your warehouse floor condition, identifies all anchor points requiring removal, and assesses the scope of restoration work needed to meet lease or compliance requirements.
2. Detailed Quotation and Timeline
We provide comprehensive quotes covering all drilling, removal, and restoration work. Our competitive pricing often costs significantly less than end-of-lease penalties, protecting your deposit and avoiding disputes.
3. Professional Drilling and Removal
Using modern German Hilti equipment, our skilled operators safely remove mechanical anchors and bolts from concrete floors and walls. Water-lubricated diamond-tipped drilling ensures clean, precise removal without floor damage.
4. Floor Restoration and Finishing
We fill all holes with specialised cementitious compounds that match original floor appearance. Our restoration work aims to make anchor points virtually invisible, meeting the highest landlord expectations.
5. Quality Inspection and Documentation
Every project includes comprehensive quality checks and photographic documentation showing completed restoration work. We provide detailed records for lease compliance and deposit protection.
Advanced Drilling Technology and Equipment
Our partnership with German tool manufacturer Hilti ensures we use the most advanced drilling technology available:
Diamond-Tipped Drilling: Water-lubricated diamond-tipped bits ensure clean, precise drilling that minimises concrete damage and produces professional results.
Modern Hilti Equipment: Two brand-new Hilti drilling machines provide reliability, precision, and efficiency that older equipment cannot match.
Skilled Operators: Our drilling technicians receive specialised training in advanced concrete drilling techniques and safety protocols.
Dust Management: Modern equipment includes dust extraction systems that maintain clean work environments and comply with workplace safety requirements.
Precision Control: Advanced drilling equipment allows precise depth control and clean hole finishing that facilitates superior restoration results.
Cost Savings vs End-of-Lease Penalties
Professional make good services typically deliver significant cost savings compared to lease penalties:
Penalty Avoidance: End-of-lease penalties for inadequate floor restoration can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, far exceeding professional restoration costs.
Deposit Protection: Professional restoration work helps ensure full deposit return, protecting substantial financial investments in your warehouse lease.
Dispute Prevention: Quality restoration work prevents landlord disputes that can delay lease termination and create additional legal costs.
Time Efficiency: Professional services complete restoration work quickly, avoiding extended lease periods while attempting DIY restoration that may not meet landlord standards.
Relationship Management: Professional restoration maintains positive landlord relationships that can benefit future lease negotiations or references.
