What is a Soft Strip Demolition Service?
A soft strip demolition service involves the careful removal of non-structural elements inside a building, such as fixtures, fittings and finishes. This process is typically undertaken prior to full demolition, renovation, or refurbishment projects. The goal of soft strip demolition is to prepare the site by removing all internal elements while preserving the structural integrity of the building.
Key Components of Soft Strip Demolition
Removal of Interior Fixtures
This includes the dismantling and removal of items such as doors, windows, flooring, ceilings and partition walls. Fixtures such as kitchen units, bathroom fittings and built-in furniture are also removed.
Dismantling of Non-Structural Elements
Non-load-bearing walls, false ceilings and temporary structures are carefully taken down, ensuring that the building’s structural framework remains intact.
Strip Out of Mechanical and Electrical Systems
All mechanical and electrical systems, including lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, as well as plumbing, wiring, and cabling, are systematically removed.
Removal of Finishes
Floor coverings (carpets, tiles, vinyl), wall coverings (wallpaper, cladding) and ceiling finishes are stripped away to expose the base structure of the building.
Waste Management
Effective waste management is crucial in soft strip demolition. Materials are sorted for recycling, reuse, or disposal, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and minimising landfill waste.
