Services: Strip-outs Strip out is the demolition of internal components within a structure or building such as bathrooms, kitchens, office and commercial spaces. These include wall linings, internal partition walls, built-ins, floor coverings, ceilings, tiles, pipework etc. Prior to refurbishments, we can completely strip out offices, houses or most buildings ready for the refit or new building works to commence. Whatever your project, we advise a site visit as soon as possible to enable all potential issues to be assessed and planned for.
Services: Asbestos removal Legislation introduced in 2006 states that before you start any demolition project you are required by law to have a Pre-Demolition Refurbishment Survey conducted in order to identify the presence of any asbestos in the building. This is a destructive survey which means knocking holes in walls, taking up floorboards, pulling down ceilings and checks for any potential risks to workers or the public from asbestos. It is a good idea to make sure the Pre-Demolition Refurbishment Survey is carried out as soon as possible, although not while in occupation, so that you can avoid any complications which may delay the project.
We can complete these surveys for you and quote for removing any asbestos identified, along with details of how long it will take and how it will affect the project. All of our asbestos removal team are fully qualified, trained and kept up to date with the latest legislation regarding the handling of asbestos. Shorts Group is a licensed asbestos carrier and we dispose of all hazardous material through our material handling facilities in Ascot and Aldershot.
Reduce, reuse, recycle We always maximise the recovery of materials on our demolition sites to reduce the environmental impact and keep costs down. With regulations including the Landfill Directive demolition waste recycling has become a vital part of the process.
On most demolition jobs, we are able to recycle as much as 98% of material. All of the waste we collect from skips, grabs & tippers is taken to our waste transfer stations at Ascot or Aldershot. Waste materials which cannot be recycled, with the exception of hazardous or contaminated waste, are sent for reprocessing into ‘refuse derived fuel’ (RDF) to be used by energy plants. We are fully licensed to handle asbestos and other hazardous waste materials so you can be confident that all of the waste we collect from you is processed in full compliance with the latest legislation.
