Common questions
Do we need an asbestos survey first?
For any structure built before 2000, yes — a refurbishment and demolition survey. We will not break out anything without knowing what is in it, and licensed removal is arranged where needed.
Can material be reused rather than carted away?
Usually. Crushed concrete and brick make good fill, which saves both disposal and imported stone. It is normally the single biggest saving available on a demolition job.
Can you demolish next to a live building?
Yes, with the right method, protection and monitoring. We plan it rather than improvising, particularly where there are shared walls or services.
Do you have your own plant and operators?
Yes. Excavators, dumpers, rollers, breakers and attachments are ours, operated by directly employed teams, so we mobilise quickly rather than waiting on hire company availability.
Can you work on a live, occupied site?
Most of our work is on operational sites. We phase the works, segregate properly, plan traffic management around deliveries and pedestrians, and work nights or weekends where that is what it takes.
Is a site survey and quotation free?
Yes. Surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation. We normally survey within a few working days and return a fixed price against a written scope on the same day.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes, and Ireland. Regional teams cover single sites and national portfolios, including multi site civils programmes running simultaneously across several regions.
