How Can We Assist with Your Soft Strip Construction Project?
What is soft stripping?
Soft strip demolition involves the removal of nonstructural elements within a building, typically in preparation for demolition, refurbishment, or remodelling. The goal of our soft strip services is to leave just the structural framework or shell of the building, such as the steel frame, allowing for further construction or demolition tasks.
- Fixtures and fittings (doors, windows, bathroom and kitchen fittings)
- Internal walls
- Ceilings
- Temporary structures
- Equipment and machinery
Safe work procedure for soft stripping
Before beginning any soft strip demolition, RJS Waste Management will carry out an internal and external survey to identify the presence of any potentially hazardous materials. Then, if required, we will carry out the safely removal of asbestos or any other hazardous waste.
Soft stripping and internal demolition work have the potential to produce high levels of dust and noise, which can have health implications. Careful planning and selection of soft strip techniques are required to ensure that dust levels are kept to a minimum. This may involve limiting the number of people in the work area, using respiratory protective equipment (RPE), and using water spray to suppress dust levels. You can read more advice from the Health and Safety Executive.
While high noise levels are sometimes unavoidable during soft strip demolition, RJS works closely with each client to schedule the loudest tasks at times that minimise disruption.
