Common questions
Do we need an ecology survey before clearance?
If there is vegetation, nesting potential or protected species habitat, usually yes, and clearance is restricted during nesting season. We will flag it at survey rather than after the fact.
What happens to the waste?
It is segregated, removed under licensed carriage and you get transfer notes. Where material can be crushed and reused on site we will suggest it, because it usually costs less.
How quickly can a site be cleared?
Most commercial sites take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size and what is buried. We will give you a realistic programme at survey.
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.
