What Is Soft Strip Out?
Soft strip out, also known as interior demolition, involves the careful removal of all non-structural elements within a building while maintaining the integrity of the core structure. This includes:
- Internal walls and partitions (non-load bearing)
- Ceilings and suspended grid systems
- Floor finishes (tiles, carpets, screeds)
- Mechanical and electrical (M&E) services
- Lighting, HVAC, and ductwork
- Fixtures, fittings, counters, displays, etc.
- Doors, windows, staircases (where applicable)
- Plant room equipment and redundant systems
The goal is to prepare the space for refurbishment, redesign or reconfiguration, while ensuring full safety and compliance throughout the process.

Our Soft Strip Out Process
- Site Assessment & Planning
We begin with a full survey of the site to assess scope, identify risks (e.g. asbestos), and determine the safest approach. - Disconnection of Services
Our team safely disconnects all utilities—gas, water, electricity, comms—prior to any strip out work. - Selective Internal Demolition
We systematically remove all agreed non-structural components using professional tools, dust suppression, and noise control where required. - Waste Management & Recycling
Materials are sorted and segregated on-site. We aim to maximise recycling and minimise landfill, in line with environmental regulations. - Final Clean Down & Inspection
We leave the site clean, safe, and ready for the next contractor. All work is documented and verified through completion reports.
