A Guide To Building Strip Outs

Leaving you with a blank canvas to work from, building strip outs are a vital step in any renovation or refurbishment project. They provide the opportunity to clear out the old and make way for the new, though it is essential to ensure that the process is overseen by professionals, especially when dealing with hazardous materials like asbestos. Look forward to creating your dream space in a safe and healthy environment by enlisting help from Gowrie Contracts Ltd, and consult this handy blog for plenty of top tips and advice.



Reasons To Clear

Building strip outs are a crucial step in any renovation or refurbishment project. Whether you are revamping your home or renovating a commercial space, clearing out the existing structure is the first step towards creating a fresh and functional environment. One of the key reasons to undertake a strip out is to make way for a new beginning. It's an opportunity to remove outdated fixtures, worn-out materials, and hazardous substances like asbestos, creating a blank canvas for your project, be it a larger repurposed business space, or separate project altogether.

Overseen By Professionals

Of course, it is essential to have the process of a clear-out overseen by professionals. This is especially true when dealing with potentially hazardous materials like asbestos. At Gowrie Contracts, our trained asbestos experts are prepared to identify and handle asbestos-containing materials safely, drilled on the intricacies of this specialised task, that requires meticulous planning and execution. Necessary tools and protective gear are the bare minimum to ensure the safe removal of asbestos, with strict regulations and guidelines followed to prevent asbestos fibres from becoming airborne.

Removing Dangerous Materials

Asbestos is a silent threat lurking in many older buildings, widely used in construction materials until its harmful effects on health were discovered. Asbestos exposure can lead to serious respiratory diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, therefore, before beginning any renovation or demolition project, it's crucial to assess whether asbestos is present in the building and take appropriate steps for its removal. Removal is certainly not a DIY task, and it should only be carried out by licensed asbestos experts who have the experience to handle this hazardous material safely. Carrying out this procedure yourself could put everyone in the vicinity at risk.

Your New Space

Once the strip out and asbestos removal have been completed, you can begin the exciting task of creating your new space. With a clean slate to work with, you have the freedom to design and customise your environment to suit your needs and preferences. Whether it's a sleek office space, a cosy home, or a retail unit, the possibilities are endless.
