Often when it comes to refurbishments, soft strip demolition is required to strip the interior space back to its shell. This involves the removing all non-structural features from a building site prior to any renovation or demolition works due to take place. The soft strip process includes, though not limited to, the removal of the following items: staircases, walls, mechanical and electrical fittings, ceilings and floor coverings.
If you are considering soft strip demolition as a part of one of your refurbishment projects, it’s important to know about why this process could be beneficial to you. To learn more about its advantages, carry on reading.
The Benefits Of Soft Strip Demolition
Increased Safety Rate
Even before the soft strip demolition process begins, all important and necessary risk assessments are undertaken thoroughly, minimising the risk of associated dangers during the process. While there are always risks associated with any demolition project, the process of soft strip demolition in particular ensures the safety and mitigation of risk well in advance.
Cost-Efficiency
The non-mechanical removal processes of selected internal structures which take place during a soft strip demolition means that damage to remaining structures is minimised. This helps to save money on the repairs of any remaining items which will still be present for the eventual renovation, and also means that any removed items (such as heritage items) can still be refitted at a later date.
Environmentally Friendly
With a primary focus on recycling removed building materials, you can rest assured that the soft strip demolition process undertaken by the team at Reddish Vale will have the environment at heart. This is demonstrated by our ISO14001 UKAS accreditation, for good environmental practices.
We aim to recycle the maximum amount of building materials as possible during every stage of the process, and we can provide documentation of our material recycling as a result.
Secure Disposal Of Hazardous Materials
If, after an asbestos survey, you find that there are any Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) present within the property you plan to soft strip, asbestos specialists like ourselves can provide you with compliant asbestos removal and asbestos remediation services. This is imperative before building works begin, ensuring that asbestos-containing materials are not disturbed during the soft strip process.
Similarly, lead-based paints are common in older properties and pose a potential threat to construction workers and tenants alike. We provide comprehensive reports to show where Lead may be present in your property, and then can undertake the appropriate lead remediation and lead removal works to ensure a safe environment for all.
Should you decide to work alongside us for your soft strip demolition project, we can provide a survey and removals package to make sure your project is dealt with safely, preventing the exposure of hazardous materials to anybody on site.
