Strip Outs

At Illawarra Demolition, we handle every aspect of your strip out safely and efficiently.

We cover the entire Illawarra region, including Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto, and the surrounding suburbs.

What Is a Strip Out?

A strip out is the removal of non-structural internal elements from a building, leaving the shell of the building intact and ready for the next stage of work.

What Gets Removed in a Strip Out?

Depending on your project, a strip out can include the removal of:

  • Internal walls and partition systems, suspended and plasterboard ceilings

  • Carpet, vinyl, tiles, and timber flooring

  • Complete kitchens and bathrooms

  • Lighting fixtures and electrical fittings, plumbing and pipework

  • Air conditioning and mechanical systems (HVAC)

  • Doors, frames, and built-in cabinetry

The Illawarra Strip Out Process

Every strip out follows a clear process to ensure the job is completed safely, on time, and to the agreed scope.

Site Assessment and Quote

We inspect the site to assess the scope of work, identify any hazardous materials such as asbestos, and provide you with a detailed, obligation-free quote.

Planning and Permits

Where council approvals or permits are required, we handle that process for you. We prepare a site-specific safety plan in line with NSW regulations and WHS requirements before we begin work.

Utility Disconnection

All utilities, including electricity, gas, and water, are disconnected by the relevant service providers before work starts. This step is non-negotiable and protects both our team and your property.

Strip Out Works

Our crew removes all agreed-upon internal elements. We work in a logical sequence to reduce risk, manage dust and debris, and keep the site safe and organised throughout.

Waste Management and Recycling

All materials are sorted on site. Where possible, we recycle waste materials. We take environmental compliance seriously and adhere to all NSW waste management regulations.

Site Clean-Up and Handover

Once the strip out is complete, we clean the site and hand it back to you, ready for the next stage. An inspection walkthrough confirms everything has been completed as agreed.
