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.

Painting & Decorating- 22 Feb 2024
We recently had the pleasure of hiring Nish for wallpaper stripping and carpet removal in our home. From the outset, Nish impressed us with his punctuality, arriving exactly on time for the job. He immediately got down to work, demonstrating remarkable diligence and a strong work ethic throughout the process. Nish’s commitment to quality was evident in the immaculate job he performed. Not only did he ensure that every aspect of the task was completed to the highest standards, but he also went the extra mile by working late to make sure everything was finished to our satisfaction. What truly set Nish apart was his attention to cleanliness. He left our house spotless, showing respect for our space and making the entire experience hassle-free for us. In summary, Nish’s professionalism, skill, and dedication were outstanding. We are thoroughly impressed with his work and would not only highly recommend his services to others but are also looking forward to hiring him again for future projects.

Demolition- 21 Feb 2021
Amazing job! I managed to get Nathan to take on the job despite his busy schedule and come within 2 days after posting the job. Guys came in the morning exactly at the hour they said they would, removed and dismantled all old cabinets in our utility room within an hour, took all the garbage with them and tidied up the space afterwards. Really very pleased and grateful! Not to mention that the price for the job was half of other quotes received.

Cleaning Services (domestic and commercial/office)- 16 Nov 2025
Absolutely excellent service and would highly recommend. I had a few hiccups my end which meant having to move to date of the clean, repeatedly! They coped with, and accommodated, the changes with ease, professionalism and politeness. The clean itself was thorough and the house was left sparkling and shining! 100% recommend and would use again in a heartbeat!

Emergency repair on a flat roof. Got Chris' name from a friend. He came to my house after completing his own work and spent a few hours in the darkness sussing out the problem. When he came off the roof, he saw I was working to put an electric shower in bathroom. He asked if I needed help doing it and had the new shower fitted in minutes. A very pleasant, easy going guy, I have no problems in recommending his work and pleasant demeanour.

Very prompt and professional service provided by Chris from Trade All Limited. The final result of the work he did to create a wider opening to our airing cupboard for our boiler to be fixed is much better than what we hoped and we are impressed with the craftmanship on the doors that were made specifically for us. If anyone wants to see before and after pictures just let me know. I have already made recommendations to our friends and family and we definitely will use Trade All Limited for future work. As a surveyor I would strongly recommend Trade All Limited to anyone in the North West looking for an experienced joiner.

Darren came round on a Saturday morning and fitted the TV bracket into a tricky wall material that he had not come across before. It was a clean polite install, had floor coverings down and bought his own hoover to clear up after himself. Will be having him back for other jobs, thanks.
