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.

Handyman- 20 Jul 2022
Simon came round to disassemble furniture for me, and got it done quickly and efficiently. I had booked him a week in advance, and we had good communication in sorting everything out. I correctly trusted him by himself in my room as there was nothing out of place even though it would have been a narrow workspace. Appreciate him for getting everything done with no issues.

Bricklaying- 31 Oct 2019
Nic, did a super job. The finish detailing of the brick wall connections look great. He went above and beyond in regard to making sure he did what I wanted, each step of the way, and didn’t assume anything. He tidied up afterwards, helped with getting materials sorted, offered to drive unused materials back to the builders yard for me, turned up on time, and was pleasant and friendly to have around. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
