Comprehensive demolition services:
We undertake a wide range of demolition works, including:
Mechanical demolition
We operate our own fleet of modern plant and specialist attachments, allowing us to carry out mechanical demolition projects efficiently and safely, no matter the size or complexity of the job. From commercial buildings to residential homes, our team delivers a streamlined service with full site clearance where required.
Listed building demolition
We have significant experience working on listed and historic buildings, as well as in dense urban environments. Our team ensures that demolition is carried out with full consideration of bat habitats and other protected species, as well as local planning constraints.
Steel structure removal
We offer steel structure dismantling and removal, with the capability to deconstruct and reclaim steel for use on other sites, or to safely remove and recycle it as part of a total site clearance.
Fire-damaged & dangerous structures
Our operatives are qualified to handle demolition of fire-damaged or unstable structures. We also provide a 24/7 emergency call-out service, where needed, to help secure and make sites safe and work with insurance companies and local authorities.
Concrete crushing & recycling
As part of our commitment to sustainable practices, we operate our own concrete crusher, giving us the ability to process and reuse concrete and masonry from demolition jobs. Recycled materials can be retained for on-site use, reused elsewhere or sold as aggregate.
Hand demolition & dismantling
For projects with restricted access or structural limitations, we offer manual demolition services using hand tools. We salvage and reuse materials, where possible, supporting environmentally responsible building practices.
Soft strip-out services
We carry out soft strip demolition, either as part of a full demolition project or as a standalone service. Our experienced team removes non-structural internal and external components to prepare buildings for refurbishment, remodelling or mechanical demolition. This includes:
Fuel tank removal & land remediation
We provide decommissioning and safe removal of fuel tanks, including fluid extraction and the remediation of contaminated land to ensure sites are safe and fully prepared for redevelopment.
Site clearance & waste removal
We carry out complete site clearance services, removing waste, vegetation and unwanted materials in accordance with environmental regulations. All waste is sorted and directed into the correct disposal or recycling streams.
