Soft Strip Demolition Services in Luton

Soft strip demolition is the first phase of most refurbishment and redevelopment projects in Luton. It involves the careful removal of all non-structural elements — fit-out, services, fixtures and finishes — before structural works begin.

What Does Soft Strip Demolition Include?

• Removal of suspended ceilings, raised floors and partition walls
• Strip-out of mechanical & electrical services (M&E)
• Removal of shopfronts, staircases and internal fit-out
• HVAC, plumbing and electrical disconnection
• Asbestos survey co-ordination (we work alongside licensed removers)
• Waste segregation and disposal (landfill diversion >90%)

Why Soft Strip Before Full Demolition?

Stripping out salvageable materials first in Luton projects maximises value recovery and recycling rates. It also allows structural engineers to inspect the fabric of the building before any structural demolition begins.
