    Demolition & Structural Dismantling

    From single garages to multi-storey commercial structures, we plan, permit and carry out demolition with the invasive weed and contamination risk handled in the same contract — so your site is genuinely ready to build on.

    Structural Demolition

    Mechanical and top-down demolition of commercial, industrial and residential structures.

    Soft Strip

    Internal strip-outs ahead of refurbishment, with segregated recycling of fixtures and fittings.

    Asbestos-Aware Works

    R&D surveys reviewed before works; licensed removal arranged where asbestos is present.

    Crush & Recycle

    On-site crushing of arisings to 6F2 where permitted, cutting muck-away costs.

    Muck-Away & Clearance

    Licensed waste carriers, full duty-of-care documentation on every load.

    Weed Risk Handled

    Knotweed, bamboo and hogweed identified and treated before machines move — no spread, no enforcement.

    How the works run

    1. 1Site survey & method statementWe attend, assess structures, services and invasive species, then issue RAMS and a fixed price.
    2. 2Notifications & permitsSection 80 notice, party wall checks, scaffold/hoarding licences and utility disconnections arranged.
    3. 3Soft strip & separationRecyclables, hazardous materials and contaminated soils removed before the structure comes down.
    4. 4Demolition & processingMachine demolition with dust suppression, arisings crushed or removed under waste transfer notes.
    5. 5HandoverLevel, safe site with a photographic completion pack, waste consignment notes and clearance certificate.

    Why demolition and weed control belong together

    Moving contaminated soil is the single fastest way to spread Japanese knotweed across a site — and to attract enforcement under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Because we survey and treat invasive species as well as demolishing, contaminated material is identified, segregated and dealt with before an excavator ever touches it.

    What demolition costs

    Small domestic structures such as garages and outbuildings typically start around £1,500–£4,000. Detached houses generally run £8,000–£20,000 depending on access, asbestos and muck-away distance. Commercial and industrial demolition is priced per project after a site survey — every quote is fixed and itemised, with recycling credits passed back to you.

    Demolition & Structural Dismantling — common questions

    Most demolition requires prior notification to the local authority under Section 80 of the Building Act 1984, and full planning permission if the building is listed or in a conservation area. We handle the notices and confirm what is needed before works start.

    A domestic garage or outbuilding is usually one to two days. A detached house typically takes three to seven days including muck-away. Larger commercial projects are programmed after survey, and we give you a written programme with your quote.

    We review the refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey first. Non-licensed materials can be removed by our teams; licensed materials such as insulation board and sprayed coatings are removed by a licensed contractor we appoint and manage.

    It is surveyed, mapped and dealt with before earthworks — by herbicide programme, on-site burial cell, root barrier or full excavation and removal to a licensed landfill, depending on your build programme.

    Yes. We work for local authorities, housing associations, main contractors and private developers, and can provide RAMS, insurance certificates and waste documentation for your compliance file.
