Non-Mechanical Soft Strip Demolition refers to the process undertaken before the refurbishment, demolition or re-modelling works of a building. It involves removing all non-structural elements, both inside and outside of the building, in order to facilitate the imminent re-construction that is going to take place.
Here at Reddish Vale, we can undertake non-mechanical soft strip demolition as a standalone project for both domestic and commercial properties, or deliver the service as part of one of our tailored asbestos survey, remediation, or removal packages.
Why Would I Need Non-Mechanical Soft Strip Demolition?
Non-mechanical soft strip demolition is vital preparation for any building that has either current refurbishment/demolition works occurring, or has them planned for the future. In comparison to mechanical demolition, which can completely destroy the structure of a building, non-mechanical soft strip demolition preserves the structure of your building by only removing non-structural elements.
Another crucial element of non-mechanical soft strip demolition is when the process is recommended as the next step after one of our asbestos services has been provided for your building. According to The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012, the dutyholder of the building is responsible for ensuring the risk of asbestos exposure within their premises is addressed. This is where we come in – we can help keep you compliant with the latest asbestos regulations, as well as keep you and all users of your building safe.
What Does the Process Involve?
As experienced soft strip demolition workers and licensed asbestos specialists, we will be able to handle everything, including:
- Removal of fixtures & fittings
- Removal of internal walls & ceilings
- Removal of temporary fixtures
- Removal of floor coverings
- Removal of M&E fixtures
- Facilitation of new structural openings
As ARCA (Asbestos Removal Contractors Association) and ACAD (Asbestos Control & Abatement Division) accredited (as well as HSE – Health & Safety Executive compliant) asbestos consultants, should your residential or commercial property contain any suspected ACMs detected as part of your tailored asbestos package – during the soft strip demolition, our wealth of asbestos removal experience will ensure all ACMs are appropriately removed and disposed of.
How Will the Waste be Disposed Of?
As ISO14001 UKAS accredited practitioners, we take the eco-friendliness and sustainability of our services very seriously. To minimise our impact on landfill, we aim to recycle as much of the waste we generate as possible. We are also dedicated to creating site-specific waste management plans in advance, unique to each individual project, which provide detailed documentation for the disposal of construction waste.
