The Demolition Process
Planning & Notice
Before commencing any demolition work, proper planning is essential. A demolition notice must be submitted to the local authority and adjacent building owners must be informed. This is in accordance with the Building Act and building control regulations.
Asbestos & Hazardous Material
As part of our commitment to public safety and compliance with building control service, we carry out an ‘Asbestos Demolition & Refurbishment Survey’. This ensures that any asbestos or other hazardous materials are safely removed in compliance with building control act measures.
Conservation & Listed Buildings
If the intended demolition involves a listed building or is in a conservation area, special considerations and planning permission are required. This includes obtaining listed building consent through a formal planning application via the planning portal.
Permission & Prior Approval
For any demolition, planning permission or prior approval from the local authority may be required, especially for larger buildings. We are well-versed in the procedures for obtaining these permissions and can assist you throughout.

1. Interior Demolition- This is the process of demolishing a building or structure from the inside out. Walls, ceilings, and floors are all removed until the building or structure is completely demolished.
2. Exterior Demolition- This type of demolition is used when a building or structure is standing but in bad condition. The exterior walls are torn down until the building or structure collapses.
3. Complete Demolition- This type of demolition is used when a building or structure needs to be completely demolished and removed from the property. All three types of demolition can be performed manually or with machinery
Demolition is typically performed by using heavy equipment to break down the structure of the building. This can include using bulldozers, excavators, and cranes to knock down walls, remove roofs, and tear down chimneys.
The process begins with the placement of explosives or the use of heavy equipment to weaken the structure. Once it is weakened, it is pulled down by a demolition crane.
There are a few health and safety concerns when it comes to demolition. The first is the potential for injury when working with heavy machinery. The second is the potential for inhalation of dust and other particles, which can cause respiratory problems. The third is the potential for fire and other hazardous materials.
Demolition always comes with some inherent health and safety concerns. It’s important to work with a demolition company that is fully insured and has industry accreditation for at least three different safety certifications, like the Construction Skills Certification Scheme, Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS), and a Construction Fire Safety Plan.
