Soft strip, structural demolition, asbestos surveys arranged, site clearance and concrete crushing for homes and sites across Reading and the surrounding villages. Fully insured, free quote.
Preparation
-
On a terrace the party wall work is the real job, so notices go to both neighbours and a photographic schedule of condition is made before a single brick moves.
-
Anything pre-2000 counts as asbestos-bearing until surveyed, and on a home the law puts that survey on us.
-
Section 80 goes to the council a clear six weeks before the start, and the period is waited out in full.
-
Providers cap off and certify the gas, water, electricity and telecoms before any plant is started.
Taking it apart
-
Strip out leads, so fixtures, timber, metal and glass are separated for recycling rather than skipped together.
-
Attached structures come apart in sequence with propping to the design, because pushing is not an option here.
-
Hand demolition where plant cannot reach, or where it would take the party wall with it.
-
Dust damped and the street swept, as that is what the neighbours will remember.
Waste and skips
-
A terraced site rarely has crushing room, so brick and concrete usually go out by grab rather than back in as fill.
-
What leaves goes out segregated, on licensed hauliers, and every transfer note ends up with you.
-
Licensed contractors and nobody else touch asbestos, and clearance certificates come before work restarts.
-
What you get back is level, safe and fenced or hoarded as agreed, ready for the build.
