Soft Strip Demolition
Selective, non-structural removal of internal elements to prepare a building for refurbishment, redevelopment or further demolition — separating soft strip from the structural frame and leaving a clean, safe shell.
Contact UsWhat This Covers
Soft strip demolition is the selective removal of non-structural elements — partitions, ceilings, fixtures, finishes, services distribution and internal fit-out — ahead of refurbishment or structural demolition.
JH separates soft strip from the structural frame, managing waste streams and leaving a clean, safe shell ready for the next stage. Works are scoped, sequenced and resourced around the wider programme.
Typical Scope Elements
- Selective removal of non-structural elements
- Internal fit-out, partitions and ceilings
- Floor finishes and raised access floors
- Non-structural M&E distribution where within scope
- Fixtures, sanitaryware and internal fittings
- Segregation of recyclable and general waste
- Clean shell ready for refurbishment or demolition
Typical Project Environments
Commercial buildings undergoing refurbishment, change of use or redevelopment ahead of structural works.
Working Alongside the Main Contractor
Soft strip is coordinated with the principal contractor and any structural demolition contractor to keep the programme sequence clean and safe.
