Professional soft strip out services across the UK. Commercial, retail, healthcare and education buildings cleared ahead of demolition or refurbishment — fast, clean, fully compliant.
Jim Wise Demolition provides professional soft strip out services across the UK — clearing commercial, retail, healthcare and education buildings ahead of demolition, refurbishment or change of use.
Soft strip is often the critical first stage of a redevelopment programme. Getting it right — on time, with correct waste segregation and compliance documentation — sets the entire project up for success.
Complete removal of all non-structural internal fit-out — ceilings, partitions, flooring, fixtures and fittings — from commercial and retail buildings.
Removal of mechanical and electrical systems — pipework, wiring, conduit, plant rooms, HVAC and sprinkler systems — segregated for recycling.
Grid ceilings, tiles and associated steelwork removed quickly and cleanly — often the largest volume in a typical office strip out.
Access floor panels and pedestals removed, bagged and disposed or recycled — floor void cleared and ready for new fit-out.
Racking systems, mezzanine floors, dock levellers and internal infrastructure removed from large-footprint warehouse facilities.
Where ACMs are present, our HSE-licensed team manages removal within the same programme — one contract, no third-party handoff delays.
