Soft-Strip Services

What is a soft-strip

A soft-strip is the process of removing non-structural elements from a building, such as ceilings, partitions, and flooring, that contain asbestos materials. This is typically done in preparation for a renovation or demolition project, where the existing building needs to be stripped down to its bare structure. Asbestos soft-strip is a highly regulated and controlled process due to the potential health hazards associated with asbestos materials.

Important notice

When do you need an asbestos soft strip

It’s important to get asbestos soft-strip completed before beginning a renovation or demolition project because it eliminates the risk of disturbing asbestos materials during the construction process.

Asbestos fibres can become airborne if the materials are damaged or disturbed, which can lead to serious health risks for anyone exposed to them, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
