The strip-out scope
Strip it out,
or take part down?
A strip out readies a building for the renovators; a partial demolition takes away part of the structure. Plenty of renovations need both.
Our strip-out in Petersham
Back to
the framing.
An asbestos-related strip-out before a demolition: internal sheets and linings removed around exposed framing, beams and temporary supports, with the crew in coveralls and respirators.

Working with Sydney’s builders, certifiers and trades
Kitchens and wet areas
Kitchens, bathrooms
and laundries.
Most home renovations start in these rooms. We agree what comes out and what stays room by room, so the next trade starts on a clean, protected space.
What comes out
Cabinets, benchtops, vanities, fixtures, tiles and the wall and floor linings you’re replacing, sorted and taken away.
What stays protected
Floors, doors and the rooms either side, plus the services your plumber and electrician will reconnect, covered and kept clear of the work.
Older wet areas
Laundries and bathrooms from before 1990 can have fibro linings that contain asbestos. They’re tested first, and our own team removes non-friable sheeting, as we did in a Middle Cove laundry and toilet.
The Middle Cove job
Partial demolition
Take out a wall,
keep the rest?
Yes. When a wall, a section of roof or part of the building comes out, the method depends on how it connects to what stays. Structural changes are agreed with the right professional advice first.
Getting material out
Stairs, doorways, corridors and shared areas between the work and the truck.
Keeping other areas in use
Who stays in the building, shared services and surfaces that remain, with the work area separated and protected.
How a strip-out runs
Room by room,
to a clean start.
Five stages, in the order they happen. In an older building, the linings are checked before anything comes out.

How much does a kitchen or bathroom strip-out cost?
As a typical Sydney price, a standard kitchen strip-out is $1,500–$3,000 per kitchen (GST may be extra) and a bathroom $1,150–$3,450 per bathroom with disposal, inc. GST. Asbestos behind the linings, structural work and difficult access are priced on top, and your free written quote sets your price.
Can a partial demolition be quoted as a smaller full demolition?
No. Keeping neighbouring structures and finishes adds access, protection and structural requirements that floor area alone doesn’t show, so it’s assessed on its own.
Can materials be salvaged?
Items you nominate before the quote is finalised can be set aside, depending on their condition and how they come out. We agree the specific items rather than assuming everything can be reused.
Can people keep using the rest of the building?
Often, yes. The work area is separated and protected, and the route material takes out is planned around shared stairs, lifts and corridors.
What if there’s a safety concern during the work?
Keep out of the work area and call the site contact, who is agreed before work starts, along with how neighbours can raise a concern. For immediate danger, call emergency services.
Is a quote free?
Yes, by phone or through the form. If a job needs testing, reports, professional advice or approval work, those costs are agreed with you before anything is ordered.
