Our Soft Strip Demolition Process
We always start with a thorough survey before any soft strip work. This helps us spot hazards like asbestos early and plan the safest way forward. Our team then follows a straightforward process to keep the main structure safe while we take out everything else that is not structural.
Step 1: Plasterboard Removal
First, we carefully remove plasterboard from the walls and ceilings to ensure the framework underneath remains intact. We guarantee that all materials are removed from the site in accordance with UK waste regulations.
Step 2: Doors, Partitions, and Non-Structural Walls
Next, we take out any internal partitions, light walls, and doors that do not support the building. We do this carefully so the rest of the structure stays stable.
Step 3: Fixtures, Fittings, and Insulation
After the primary partitions are removed, we proceed to remove items such as tiles, bathroom fittings, lights, and windows. We also remove all types of insulation, including fibreglass, foam, and acoustic. Flooring, carpets, and other finishes are lifted and disposed of in the right way.
Step 4: Hazardous Material Removal
If we find asbestos or any other hazardous material during the survey, licensed specialists will handle the removal following UK health and safety rules. This keeps everyone on site and nearby safe.
Step 5: Recycling and Waste Management
At the end, we sort all materials so we can reuse or recycle as much as possible. We separate metals, timber, and other recyclable materials to reduce landfill waste and support environmental goals.
