Frequently Asked Questions
What does a strip out involve for the retail sector?
It includes dismantling all non-structural interior elements like shelving, flooring, suspended ceilings, lighting, and internal walls.
Can a shop remain open during strip out?
In some cases, yes. We offer phased works and out-of-hours services to minimise disruption during trading hours.
How much does a shop strip out cost?
Costs vary based on size, access and materials. Smaller units may range from £800–£2000+, larger shops cost more. Contact us for an accurate quote.
What’s the difference between a soft strip and full internal demolition?
A soft strip removes non-structural features only. Full demolition may involve removing internal walls, risers, raised floors and mezzanines.

Professionals ensure the job is done safely, legally, and efficiently. We prevent damage, manage waste, and help avoid refurbishment delays.
