Notices first
-
Guildford's town centre conservation area catches anything of 115 cubic metres or more, where demolishing without planning permission is a criminal offence.
-
Buildings from before 2000 are assumed to hold asbestos until a survey says otherwise, and on a home that survey falls to us.
-
The Section 80 notice reaches the council six weeks ahead, and we wait the period out rather than gamble.
-
Party wall notices served, a schedule of condition photographed, and the utilities capped and certified first.
The demolition
-
Soft strip comes first, so fittings, timber, metal and glass are pulled out for recycling rather than tipped into one skip.
-
Nothing is simply pushed over. The sequence is planned and propping goes in wherever the design calls for it.
-
Hand demolition wherever a machine cannot get to it, or would take next door with it.
-
Dust kept damped and the road swept, since that is the part the neighbours see.
Clearing the site
-
Where the site has the room, concrete and brick are crushed there and reused as fill instead of travelling out and back.
-
The rest is segregated and taken away by licensed carriers, and the transfer notes come to you.
-
Only a licensed contractor removes asbestos, and clearance certificates are handed over before work resumes.
-
The site is left level and safe, fenced or hoarded as agreed, ready for the next trade on it.
