Strip Out Contractor – Riley Court, University of Warwick

Strip out of Riley Court, University of Warwick

Umberslade is delivering a full internal strip out at Riley Court, University of Warwick. Appointed as the strip out contractor, we’re clearing the building floor by floor as part of a major reconfiguration programme.

Strip out the team inspecting progress.

It’s a clean, controlled operation. Ceilings, flooring, partitions, and all mechanical and electrical systems are being removed. Everything non-structural goes. The building will be left clear, safe, and ready for the next phase.

What a Strip Out Contractor Does

As a strip out contractor, our role is to remove everything that isn’t part of the structure. That includes:

• Floor coverings and suspended ceilings

• internal walls and partitions

• Redundant M&E systems

• Fixtures, fittings, and internal finishes

• Disconnection of services

We handle everything from planning and site setup through to waste management and handover. It’s our job to give the next trade a clean start.

A Phased Approach That Keeps the Site Moving

Riley Court is being stripped out floor by floor. That means we complete one level, clear it, and move on. It’s a methodical, staged approach that keeps the programme moving and the building safe and tidy throughout.

We work closely with the main contractor, keeping communication tight and progress on track. We flag issues early, adapt quickly, and make sure the job stays on schedule.

Sustainability Built Into Every Strip Out

All strip out materials are recovered, sorted and recycled where possible. On this job, as with every job, we:

• Separate waste on site

• Keep landfill to a minimum

• Provide clear, auditable reporting

• Help clients meet sustainability and compliance targets

We don’t just rip everything out and call it a day. We operate to professional environmental standards and support BREEAM, ESG and client-specific frameworks.

Strip out requires careful planning.

Strip Out to Groundworks – All Under One Roof

Once the internal strip out at Riley Court is complete, our in-house groundworks team will take over external enabling works. That means one team, no handover delay, no coordination headaches.

This joined-up delivery is what makes Umberslade different. We offer full enabling works capability, not just the strip out. It saves time, keeps accountability clear, and gives our clients confidence.

Why Getting Strip Out Right Matters

Strip out isn’t just a clearance job—it’s a critical first step. Done well, it sets the pace and standard for the rest of the programme. Done badly, it causes delays, cost overruns, and unnecessary risk.

We understand what’s at stake. We get in, get it done, and leave the site better than we found it.
