Stripping

Systematic, damage-free formwork removal that protects concrete surfaces and gets your forms back in service fast.

Forms Out.
Structure Standing.

Dform's stripping crews execute formwork removal with the same precision used during installation. We follow engineered strip sequences, verify cure times with your structural engineer or superintendent, and dismantle forms in a controlled order that protects the concrete from shock, spalling, and surface damage.

Every panel, beam, prop, and hardware component is cleaned, inspected, and sorted for re-use or repair. Our methodical approach maximises form longevity — protecting your material investment and keeping rental costs in check across multiple pours.

Cure Time Compliance

We strip only after confirming minimum cure periods per the structural drawings — never early, never at risk.

Zero Surface Damage

Controlled removal techniques prevent spalling, cracking, and surface marking. Concrete faces left clean and repair-free.

Form Re-Use Ready

Panels cleaned, oiled, and stacked correctly so they are ready for the next pour with minimal prep time.

All Form Systems

Wall forms, slab decking, column forms, post shores, and proprietary gang form systems — we strip them all.

How We Strip It.

01
Cure Verification

We confirm minimum cure times from pour records and the structural engineer before any hardware is touched.

02
Strip Sequence Planning

We map the removal order — non-load-bearing faces first, shores and re-shores last — to keep the structure safe throughout.

03
Careful Removal

Hardware loosened methodically, panels walked off the structure using controlled lifts — no prying, no dropping, no impact damage.

04
Form Cleaning and Oiling

Each panel scraped, brushed, and oiled for the next pour. Damaged hardware flagged and set aside for repair or replacement.

05
Stacking and Storage

Forms stacked flat and secured on-site or loaded for transport. Inventory documented and handed back to your site foreman.
