Soft Strip Demolition
Before demolishing, renovating, or otherwise altering the structure of a building, soft strip works must first be completed. Jettison strip buildings back to the shell safely, with waste recycled wherever possible.

What it involves
What is soft strip demolition?
In most cases, the goal of the soft strip is to remove everything from the structure except for its steel framework and outer shell. It calls for the removal of any exterior and interior element not absolutely necessary for the construction of the premises.
Items removed during a soft strip demolition may include:
- Internal walls
- Fixtures and fittings (UPVC windows, wooden doors, bathroom units and kitchen fittings)
- Temporary internal structures
- Suspended ceilings
- All equipment and machinery

Done safely
A safe work process
Survey first
Jettison Ltd will conduct an internal and external survey to determine the existence of any potentially hazardous materials before beginning any soft stripping.
Dust controlled
Careful planning keeps dust to a minimum: limiting the number of people in the work area, screening desks, wearing RPE and running water spray.
Noise planned
Although high noise levels are inevitable, we work with every client to arrange the noisiest work when it would have the least impact and inconvenience.
