Strip-Out Contractors Birmingham. Moseley Road Swimming Baths in Moseley is one of Birmingham’s most important Grade II* listed buildings, not just in Birmingham, but in the UK.
Restoring a building of this age demands specialist skills, careful planning and the right equipment. Umberslade has been appointed as the main strip-out contractor in Birmingham to deliver the enabling works that prepare this landmark for full restoration.
A fascinating gallery of imagery from areas that have been hidden for decades.
Our teams are carrying out heritage strip-out, diamond drilling and sawing, groundworks, and safe access work using electric and rubber-tracked machinery.
Every task is designed to protect the building, preserve the artefacts and original installations whilst preparing it for renovation and returning it to public use.
Heritage Strip-Out for Listed Buildings
Strip-out in a historic building is a conservation process. It must protect the fabric, record every detail and avoid unnecessary damage. At Moseley Road Swimming Baths, our team is:
- Documenting and cataloguing all original features
- Removing later additions and redundant services
- Protecting floors, tiles and mosaics
- Using low-vibration equipment and electric plant
- Managing asbestos and lead paint safely
Our rubber-tracked machines reduce surface pressure, making them safe to use over fragile floors, early concrete and decorative surfaces.
Diamond Drilling & Sawing
Historic buildings cannot tolerate heavy impact tools. Our drilling and sawing division uses methods that protect the structure while creating openings for new services and upgrades.
We provide:
- Diamond core drilling
- Track sawing
- Wire sawing
- Floor sawing
- BROKK robotic demolition
All work is completed with dust suppression, slurry control and real-time vibration monitoring.
Groundworks in Sensitive Buildings
Our groundworks team is:
- Opening trial pits to understand the foundations
- Strengthening and supporting load-bearing areas
- Reconfiguring drainage and service routes
- Excavating new lift pits
- Using compact, electric, rubber-tracked equipment
Every action protects the building while improving its long-term stability.
Moseley Road Baths sit within a busy community. Parts of the building remain accessible during the works.
Umberslade manages:
- Resident vehicle access
- Safe pedestrian routes
- Dust and noise control
- Protective roadways and temporary flooring
- Clear communication with building management
- We work cleanly and safely, minimising disruption
