What should I expect from a professional demolition contractor?

A qualified contractor should be licensed, insured, and experienced. They should provide a detailed estimate, follow safety protocols and ensure compliance with local regulations and permits. You can check customer reviews, testimonials and photos of previous projects on MyBuilder.

Do demolition contractors need insurance?

Yes, they should have public liability insurance to cover accidents or damage during demolition work. Always request proof before work begins to ensure you’re protected.

What is the difference between a rubbish clearance service and skip hire?

Rubbish clearance services handle all the heavy lifting for you, they load, remove, and dispose of waste quickly, saving you time and space. Skip hire, on the other hand, is ideal for larger or ongoing projects where you’ll gradually fill the container over several days or weeks.

Do I need planning permission for demolition work?

Often, yes, especially if you’re demolishing a large structure, a listed building, or something located in a conservation area. A qualified demolition contractor can guide you through what’s required.

Do I need an asbestos survey before demolition?

If your property was built before 2000, an asbestos survey is essential. It identifies any hazardous materials so they can be safely removed by licensed specialists before demolition begins.

What environmental regulations apply to demolition work?

Demolition contractors must comply with UK environmental standards for dust control, waste management, and recycling. They’re also required to recover and recycle as much material as they can.

Harry did an excellent job in helping update our heating system. He works hard and completed everything on the day as he said he would. Harry is professional, punctual, reliable and quotes a fair price for what needs doing. I would have no hesitation in recommending him or using him again.

White Stag Construction was the house builder of our new-build property (2024) so when we decided to add to our kitchen in 2026, that company was the obvious choice as we already knew the high quality of workmanship. Mike made sense of my explanation of how I’d like the kitchen to look, and got it spot-on at first draft. He then sourced the cupboards and worktop and fitted the kitchen, adding plug points too. Mike arrived on-time each day and completed the work to a high standard within the timeline he’d quoted. He also left the place tidy 👍 We’re very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Mike for further work and recommend him to others. Thank you!

Bricklaying- 14 Nov 2023
We are very pleased with the job that Aiden has done. He gave a reasonable quote and also gave advice as to the use of coping stones, and the fact that our original bricks were no longer fit for purpose. He is a meticulous worker who has cleared up well afterwards We are planning to get him to do another project in the new year.

Anthony arrived promptly on time, his work was very high standard and nothing was too much trouble. He consulted me first through everything he was doing. He also sourced one of his electrical friends to install my new lighting as my previous light had blown and stopped working. I’d 100% recommend him, he’s even coming back to do some more work for me.

Roofing (Pitched)- 10 Feb 2021
Luke was reliable from arriving on time to quote for the job through to completing ahead of schedule and under the original quote. The job was repairing a rotten outbuilding roof. Luke was able to save half of the roof and keep the cost down and communicated options throughout. He is very efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend him.

It’s always a little daunting as a senior citizen to arrange for work to be done at your property. Chris and Ant were an absolute pleasure to have here. Very reasonable quote, they arrived when they said they would and completed work to a high standard very speedily. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone and if I need work doing in future I’ll certainly ask them first. Thanks chaps!
