stramit board

[perseverance]

What's the best way to remove stramit board from a flat garage roof?

lovely stuff aint it,im in the middle of destroying a load on internal walls made up of this stuff,hessian scrim then plasterd,and nailed with 4" wire nails,even the skirtings they used 4"ovals.

RECIP SAW seems to be working a treat,find the joint line then cut through it,then as said use a LONG wrecking bar.

House with strammit board internal walls - would it have a metal frame and a low pitch roof aswell with a kind of render on some and tilehanging on others . Just that I remember doing a job in one of the houses way back - it was a nightmare to fix any thing - there was a small number of them in a group , not far from Eastbourne . Surely not more than one outcrop of such strange buildings in Sussex

I've worked on a house with stramin board walls too.How to remove? Well in my case the wall had been tiled for a shower , grout had failed and the board turned to something resembling compost
If it's not falling apart then brute force is the answer. However, try forcing a reciprocating saw in between the board and joist and saw through any fixings.

The tidiest way would be to use a crowbar on the long nails, but use something solid to rest the bar on, coal shovel for example, that way you should be able to take the boards up intact.
