Demolition Soft Strip-Out – Former Pizza Hut, Phoenix Leisure Park, Crewe

Jim Wise Demolition recently completed a detailed soft strip-out and demolition project at the former Pizza Hut, Phoenix Leisure Park, Dunwoody Way, Crewe (CW1 3AJ). The works were carried out to prepare the premises for a full refit, with all tasks delivered safely, on schedule, and in line with industry best practices.

As a trusted demolition contractor in Crewe, our scope of works included:

Project Scope & Timeline

  • Start date: 31/08/2023
  • Duration: Two weeks
  • Objective: Full internal strip-out and selected external demolition to facilitate refurbishment.

Internal Works

  • Removal of glazed screens, doors, frames, and architraves
  • Demolition of internal masonry walls and partitions
  • Removal of fixtures, fittings, and equipment (FFE)

External Works

  • Removal and safe disposal of glazing and glazed doors
  • Demolition of low-level brickwork on selected elevations

Safety & Compliance

  • Continuous presence of a banksman for plant and HGV operations
  • Fully fenced work zone for public safety
  • Mandatory PPE for all operatives with strict compliance monitoring
  • Comprehensive welfare facilities including toilets, changing rooms, drinking water, and hand sanitiser
  • Works conducted in accordance with BS 6187:2011 – Code of Practice for Demolition Works

Working in a Busy Retail Environment

The site was located within an active leisure park surrounded by a cinema, bowling alley, and bingo hall. We implemented strict noise and dust control measures, including:

  • Regular maintenance of machinery to reduce noise and emissions
  • Use of misting sprays and dampened stockpiles for dust suppression

Methodology

  • Site set-up and creation of plant access routes
  • Soft strip-out of internal elements
  • Systematic removal of all harmful materials
  • Regular stakeholder communication, daily briefings, and employee inductions to ensure safe and efficient operations

Project Completion

Upon completion, we carried out a final inspection to confirm the site was free of hazards before formally handing it over to the appointed contractor for the next stage of refurbishment.

This project demonstrates why Jim Wise Demolition is the go-to demolition contractor in Crewe – delivering safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible demolition solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
