Services
Demolition
We provide comprehensive demolition services for single-storey and multi-storey structures across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Our in-house resources include 1-80 tonne machinery with specialist attachments for controlled dismantling. Projects benefit from CDM compliance, detailed risk assessments, and environmental planning to ensure safety and regulatory adherence. Our nationwide capability supports rapid mobilisation for urgent requirements.
Asbestos Removal
Our CAR 2012-compliant asbestos services include testing, removal, and disposal of licensed and non-licensable materials. Certified operatives use industry-regulated PPE and follow strict containment protocols. Emergency callouts are available for reactive asbestos management, with disposal at Environment Agency-registered facilities. Annual face-fit testing and health surveillance ensure worker safety.
Site Clearance
We deliver full site clearance including bulk excavation, vegetation removal, and groundworks preparation. Our ISO 14001-compliant processes maximise material recovery for reuse on-site or local projects. Services support economic redevelopment of dilapidated areas through controlled demolition and soil remediation techniques tailored to client redevelopment plans.
Facade Retention
Specialist facade retention services preserve external building features during internal demolition. We design temporary propping systems with structural engineers and collaborate with architects on historically significant schemes. This approach maintains architectural heritage while enabling modernisation of internal structures in city-centre locations with space constraints.
Chemical Waste Removal
Our in-house chemical waste service handles flammable, toxic, and hazardous materials including solvents, pesticides, and contaminated soils. Full legislative compliance covers identification, containment, transportation, and disposal. Contamination surveys and detailed reporting precede all removal operations, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory adherence for industrial and commercial clients.

Idiotic employees work for City Demolition. 2 of their vans were racing each other putting other road users at serious risk as well as throwing Mcdonalds rubbish out all over the road, disgusting behaviour.
