An office strip out, often referred to as a 'soft strip demolition', focuses on removing all non-structural elements from your commercial building. This prepares the space, allowing new designs and fit-outs to take shape. We commonly distinguish between two types:

• Category A (Cat A) Strip Out: This typically involves stripping the office back to a bare shell. We remove all existing fixtures, fittings, and tenant-specific installations, leaving an open-plan space with raised floors, suspended ceilings, and often core mechanical and electrical services. It’s perfect for landlords preparing a space for a new tenant to fit out to their exact specifications.
• Category B (Cat B) Strip Out: This is about removing a previous tenant's specific fit-out. We take out internal partitioning, specialist lighting, data cabling, kitchen areas, and any bespoke installations, returning the space to its original Cat A condition or to a basic shell, often as part of an end-of-lease agreement. Our team manages the entire removal process, making it simple for you.

Our commercial strip out services are comprehensive, ensuring every non-structural element is cleared from your property. This includes:

• All types of office partitioning (glass, plasterboard, modular)
• Suspended ceilings and grid systems
• Raised access flooring and all floor coverings (carpets, vinyl, tiles)
• Internal stud walls and non-load-bearing structures
• Kitchenettes, tea points, and washroom fixtures
• Redundant mechanical and electrical systems, data cabling, and lighting
• General office furniture and accumulated waste
• Any previous tenant fit-out elements, ensuring compliance with dilapidation clauses.
