A house strip back to shell, often known as a 'soft strip' demolition, involves the systematic removal of all non-structural components from within a property. This includes everything from old kitchens and bathrooms, to flooring, ceilings, plasterboard, internal partitioning walls, outdated fittings, and internal doors. Essentially, we strip the building back to its core structure – the brickwork, timber framework, and concrete floors. This intensive preparation is usually undertaken when homeowners or developers plan significant renovations, extensions, or a complete internal reconfiguration. It’s the essential first step to truly modernise and maximise the potential space of any residential property.

At Ripping Out And Removal Services, safety is non-negotiable. We operate as a Limited Company, fully insured with comprehensive Public Liability Insurance, providing robust protection for every project we undertake. Our team members are CSES Card holders, demonstrating their competency and commitment to health and safety standards on site. Crucially, we are also Asbestos Awareness certified. This means we are highly vigilant when working in older properties, understanding the risks associated with asbestos-containing materials. Should we identify suspected asbestos, we follow strict protocols, either safely managing its non-licensed removal or advising on specialist licensed contractors for larger or more complex cases. Your safety, and that of our team, remains our absolute priority throughout the entire strip out works.
