Birmingham is one of the UK's most active commercial development markets — and with redevelopment comes a constant need for professional soft strip out. Whether it's clearing a former retail unit in the city centre, stripping an office block in the Business District, or decommissioning a factory in the Black Country, Jim Wise Demolition has been delivering soft strip out across Birmingham and the West Midlands since 1982.
What Is Soft Strip Out?
Soft strip out is the systematic removal of all non-structural internal elements from a building prior to refurbishment or full demolition. This includes suspended ceilings, partition walls, floor finishes, mechanical and electrical (M&E) services, ductwork, plumbing, joinery, and fixtures. Read our comprehensive guide to soft strip out for a full breakdown of what the process involves.
