A kitchen strip out can be a messy affair if it isn’t handled properly.
Whether it’s a home, an office or another type of business premises, it’s imperative that your kitchen strip out is completed efficiently.
When it is, you’ll save time and money. If it drags on, you could be subject to additional costs, waste plenty of time and even cause unwanted damage.
Therefore, it’s essential you plan thoroughly before the work begins. Here are some things to think about before completing a kitchen strip out.
Plan for Health and Safety
Health and safety should always be your first consideration when it comes to planning a Sydney kitchen strip out.
Begin by identifying any risk factors and equip yourself with the appropriate safety gear. This includes dust masks, steel capped boots, gloves and heavy-duty clothing.
Helmets should also be worn where appropriate.
At Sydney City Rubbish, we approach every single Sydney kitchen strip out with safety at the forefront of our mind. Moreover, our staff are highly trained in safe practices, and equipped with full PPE.
Therefore, you can rest easy knowing that health and safety is our priority when completing your kitchen strip out project.
Remove All Furniture
Secondly, remove all the furniture from your kitchen area.
Whether it’s chairs, tables, stools or cabinets, protect them from damage by moving them into a separate room.
If that’s not possible, shift them to a spot as far away from the work as possible, and cover them with drop sheets or plastic sheets.
This will protect your furniture from damage and dust once the kitchen strip out begins.
Remove Appliances
It’s also important to protect your expensive appliances.
Move your microwave, fridge and of course, coffee machine to a safe spot. Damage to these items can cost you plenty, so avoid the risk at all costs.
Take Down Images or Decorations
If you have decorations, pictures or other ornaments in your kitchen, you should remove all of them before your kitchen strip out commences.
Not only are they at risk of damage during the strip out project, they’ll also likely become covered in dust, even if they aren’t in the immediate vicinity of the works.
This dust can also cause damage in the long term and is of course a pain to clean. Therefore, be sure to protect your decorations before you begin your kitchen strip out.
Prevent Dust Spreading
You’d be amazed at how far dust from your kitchen strip out can venture.
These potentially harmful particles can find their way into most rooms of your home, office or other business premises.
Therefore, it’s important to take measures to prevent this dust spreading.
Seal off your kitchen entrances with drop sheets or plastic sheets, and make sure you clean thoroughly throughout each stage of the kitchen strip out.
A combination of this action will be sure to minimise the spread and potentially harmful effects of dust in your premises.
