Our Demolition Services for the Southampton Area
General Demolition and Soft Strips
Soft strip demolition involves removing all non-structural components from a building’s interior and exterior as part of our general demolition service in Southampton. This process removes features including windows, ceilings and electrical fittings, either to prepare for another demolition service or for the refurbishment of a property.
Land Remediation
You may require land remediation if your site includes pollutants or contaminants that are harming both your plot and the surrounding environment. We will conduct a preliminary assessment of your location to determine the contaminants, collecting samples for testing before performing any necessary soil treatments to safely remove the pollutants.
Site Clearance
We provide site clearance following the completion of controlled demolition in Southampton. By separating waste streams to increase recycling, we can securely remove all waste from your site whilst lowering our environmental impact and ensuring that very little waste ends up in a landfill. The materials removed from your site can include: Demolition waste, Vegetation and green waste, Asbestos-containing materials, Surface soil
Strip Outs
Strip outs, also known as a hard strip, constitute the removal of more permanent applications, such as floors, ceilings and stairways, throughout residential and commercial properties. Typically, this is performed before controlled demolition commences.
