What is gutting?

The first step toward your new space

Gutting removes the entire interior of a property – until only the load-bearing structure remains. This creates a clean basis for refurbishment, modernization or sale. Load-bearing walls and structural integrity naturally remain untouched.

Good to know about gutting

So you know exactly what to expect – the key questions before the project starts.

When does gutting make sense?

Gutting is worthwhile whenever a property is to be thoroughly refurbished, modernized or repurposed. Typical occasions in Karlsruhe and the surrounding area are:

✓Full refurbishment of an old apartment or an entire house, where everything outdated has to go.
✓Repurposing of rooms – e.g. converting commercial space into living space or reconfiguring a floor plan.
✓Water, fire or mold damage, where affected building material must be removed professionally.
✓Before a sale, to offer the property attractively as a “bare shell for self-finishing”.

What is not part of gutting?

Gutting is not demolition. The building’s load-bearing structure is fully preserved – only the non-load-bearing fit-out is removed. Therefore not part of gutting are:

Load-bearing walls, ceilings and columns, the building’s structure and the façade remain untouched. A complete building demolition is also not part of gutting. If hazardous materials such as asbestos are suspected in your property, a separate inspection is required beforehand – just talk to us, we will advise you honestly on what makes sense and is necessary.

What does gutting cost?

We calculate every gutting job at a fixed price after a viewing. What matters:

Scope

Only coverings and linings, or everything down to the shell?

Materials

Tiles set in mortar, screed, timber-beam ceilings or drywall.

Volumes

Rubble, gypsum, wood and metal are disposed of separately.

Access

Floor, lift, skip location and carrying distances.

Hazardous substances

If suspected, a survey is needed first.

Schedule

Tight deadlines before trade appointments need more staff.

Asbestos and hazardous substances

Buildings constructed or renovated before 1993 may contain asbestos or old mineral fibres, for example in floor tiles, adhesives, plasters or facade panels. Work on asbestos-containing materials may only be carried out by specialist companies with expertise under TRGS 519. If there is a suspicion, we recommend a survey before starting – a stoppage in the middle of strip-out costs more.

How gutting works step by step is explained in our guide to gutting before renovation.
