FAQ

Common
Questions.

What is included in a soft strip?

Soft strip covers removal of all non-structural internal elements — suspended ceilings, partitions, M&E services, raised floors, fixtures and fittings. It prepares the building shell for demolition or refurbishment.

Do you work on live sites?

Yes — we regularly work on live hospital, education and retail sites. We are experienced in the strict access controls, noise management and segregation these environments demand.

How is waste managed during strip out?

All materials are segregated on site — metals, timber, plasterboard, M&E and general waste separated at source. We divert 95%+ from landfill and provide full Waste Transfer Notes.

Can you integrate asbestos removal into the strip?

Yes — our HSE-licensed asbestos team manages ACM removal within the same programme, avoiding third-party delays. All licensed works include independent air monitoring.

Is a survey free?

Yes — all site surveys and quotations are completely free and carry no obligation. Fixed-price quotation within 48 hours.
