Soft Strip


Metals and Plant has a wealth of experience in interior soft strip, strip out and enabling works, associated with the safe and environmentally sound preparation of buildings prior to commercial redevelopment or refurbishment. Soft stripping is a common term used when preparing a structure for demolition or reuse. Essentially, all fixtures and fittings, for example, doors, windows, bathrooms, kitchens, floor coverings etc are all removed from the building, leaving nothing but the steel or concrete frame.

Over the decades Metals and Plant have carried out projects in many different environments, all requiring detailed planning to minimize the effect of the works on companies employees, residents, patients and the general public. Having worked in live Hospitals, Universities, Schools and Large Shopping Centres to name a few, we can come up with a solution to minimize on interaction with the public and ensuring that all dust and debris from the work does not contaminate surrounding areas. We will work the hours that suits any particular situation and if restrictions are in place (ie: noisy works or transportation of waste) we will work with you to ensure the project is carried out safely, with minimal disruption. Working alongside major developers, planning consultants and main contractors, Metals and Plant Ltd offers a quality strip out service, providing a comprehensive solution.

The Environmental sustainability of waste is taken very seriously at Metals and Plant. In accordance with good environmental practice and in line with current legislation, construction waste is segregated and recycled, whilst hazardous materials are disposed of under controlled conditions. Site-specific Waste Management Plans (SWMP) are prepared, providing detailed documentation for disposal of construction waste on major projects.
