Here at Reddish Vale, we have a proven ability to carry out soft strip demolition and enabling works in even the most sensitive of environments. Our team has a wealth of experience in this field to help you remain compliant with The Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 as it is the dutyholder’s legal responsibility to address the risk of asbestos exposure within their premises – which can be higher when the process of refurbishment or demolition is involved, and the building hasn’t been previously surveyed or remediated. We can prepare all types of residential and commercial buildings for demolition, refurbishment or remodelling works in a safe and environmentally conscious manner.
Soft strip demolition can be carried out as a standalone project, or as part of a bespoke package tailored to you and your building, alongside Asbestos Surveys, Asbestos Removal or Asbestos Remediation within a property. The preparation of your building may involve removal of fixtures (including M&E fixtures) and fittings, internal walls and ceilings, temporary structures and floor coverings. In comparison to mechanical demolition, our non-mechanical soft strip demolition service preserves the structure of your building by only removing non-structural elements.
In terms of waste management, we take environmental sustainability very seriously, which is why we are proud to hold the ISO14001 UKAS accreditation to demonstrate our commitment to positive, eco-friendly practices. We aim to recycle as much of the waste we generate as possible, to avoid any waste going to landfill. This is why we provide a waste management plan specific to each unique site we work on, which outlines in detail how the waste from our major construction and demolition projects will be disposed of.
